KOLKATA: Pension is not "an act of charity" but a legal right of employees, Calcutta high court said while reprimanding Hooghly Chinsurah municipality for blaming technological lapses for a delay in releasing the pension of 148 people who retired as Group D workers. The court said the employees earned the right by putting in years of service.
Justice Gaurang Kanth said, "Pension and other retiral benefits, once earned by an employee after rendering long and continuous service ought not be delayed even by a single day. Delay in such cases causes undue hardship to the retired employees who depend on these dues for their sustenance."
He made the observation while hearing a petitioner's case who, along with 147 others, was employed in 1991-92.
