Later, we will finalize the legal options such as filing a petition in the court for getting our demand fulfilled,” Nasrikar said.He pointed out that the old pension scheme continues to apply to the subordinate judicial services employees in West Bengal and Delhi but, the NPS has been introduced in all other states for fresh recruitments..
