Orissa High Court Restores Pension for 30-Year Official
The Orissa High Court recently made a big decision.
They gave back the pension to a government worker who had worked for 30 years.
The court also scolded the government for filing too many unnecessary lawsuits.
They said this needs to stop because it's bad for the people.
Two judges, Justice Dixit Krishna Shripad and Justice Chittaranjan Dash, agreed with an earlier decision to give the worker their pension.
They said the government should focus on helping people instead of wasting time on these cases.
The Orissa High Court restored the pension of a government official with 30 years of service.
The court criticized the government for filing 'unworthy cases' and urged it to curb this tendency.
A bench of Justices Dixit Krishna Shripad and Chittaranjan Dash upheld a single judge's order granting pension benefits.
The court emphasized that such litigation is detrimental to the welfare of citizens.
The order was dated January 12 and involved an appeal by the principal secretary of the government works department.
