    The Madras High Court allowed S. Krishnan's writ petition, quashing the Treasury Officer's decision to reduce his pension from Rs. 17,800 to Rs. 14,890 effective October 1, 2025, based on an audit objection. The court found the pension reduction violated natural justice principles as the petitioner received no prior notice or opportunity to be heard before the reduction was implemented. The court declared the action illegal, arbitrary, and violative of Constitutional Articles 14 and 300-A, directing the respondents to pay the differential pension amount within four weeks.
