    Summary: The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir allowed a sweeper's writ petition directing the UT to release his pension and terminal benefits within two months. The petitioner, employed since 1994, regularized in 2000, and declared quasi-permanent in 2008, had completed 21 years of service before superannuation in 2021. Although respondents challenged the initial engagement as illegal and cited ongoing investigations, the court held that withholding benefits violated his property rights since no departmental proceedings were conducted and no charge sheet filed against him, making the denial unsustainable in law. Interest at 6% per annum applies if payment is delayed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
