Denial of pension is continuing wrong: SC

The Supreme Court Monday said “denial of pension is a continuing wrong” and it cannot be oblivious to the difficulties of a retired employee in approaching the courts, which could include financial constraints.

The top court also said it is a settled law that when financial rules framed by the Government such as Pension Rules are capable of more than one interpretation, then the Courts should lean towards that interpretation, which goes in favour of the employee.
