High Court Orders Pension for Retired Employee
A man named Gulzar Ahmad Khan worked for the government for 25 years.
After he retired, the government said they might not give him his pension.
But the Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court said that since he worked for so long, he should get his pension.
The court told the government to give him all his retirement money, including what he was owed, within two months.
The judges said that the government should have told him earlier if there was a problem with his job, but since they didn't, he deserves his pension.
The Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court ordered the release of all retirement benefits to a retired employee, Gulzar Ahmad Khan, within two months.
The employee served for over 25 years, and the court ruled that his benefits are earned through long service, not charity.
The court noted that the government should have initiated termination proceedings earlier if the appointment was illegal.
The bench consisted of Chief Justice Arun Palli and Justice Rajnesh Oswal.
The state filed an appeal challenging the trial court's order to release the retirement benefits.
