The Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's pension claim, ruling that the pension fund's unilateral change to its rules superseded the original employment contract requirement. The applicant argued that the initial contract stipulated employment as a condition for receiving the pension, but the fund later altered its regulations to remove this condition. The court held that the fund's validly adopted new rules legally replaced the contractual stipulation, thereby eliminating the applicant's entitlement to the pension based on the original terms.
