Employee was terminated in 2000 but served for nearly 30 years; Allahabad HC orders pension & other retirement benefits | Mint
The Allahabad High Court has told the UP government to work out and release Balkrishna Sharma's pension, gratuity and other retirement benefits within 30 days. His appointment was questioned and his services were terminated in 2000, yet he kept serving for nearly three decades. The court said a worker cannot be left uncertain because of the State's own mistake. Keep your appointment letters and service records safe.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Sharma joined as a Junior Clerk in September 1997 after clearing the written examination and interview.
- The authorities terminated his services on 13 September 2000, saying the post he was appointed against was not available.
- The court directed the UP government to calculate and release his pension, gratuity and other retirement benefits within 30 days.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you are facing a termination dispute where the employer claims the post never existed, keep every appointment letter, joining record and pay slip safely, and speak to a lawyer or CA about your service and retirement benefit rights. A court outcome in one case does not guarantee the same result for you.
