High Court Orders Pension for Retired Judge
20 Dec
Summary
- Former judge retired in October 2022.
- Pension process not initiated for over three years.
- High court ordered immediate pension process start.
The Telangana High Court has ordered the state government to promptly initiate pension benefits for former judge Justice G Sridevi. Justice Sridevi retired in October 2022 and subsequently approached the court after a significant delay of over three years without her pension process being started.
Her legal counsel argued that the delay was both illegal and arbitrary, seeking not only her rightful pension but also arrears with interest and other consequential benefits. A division bench acknowledged the urgency and mandated immediate commencement of the pension process.
The court has requested the state government to provide a status report on the matter by the next hearing, scheduled for January 5, 2026, ensuring accountability and timely resolution.
