Orders
The High Court of Orissa modified the Single Judge's order and increased the interest rate on withheld pension and terminal benefits from 7% to 18% per annum for the period July 2009 to November 2023, holding that pension is a right earned through past service, not a bounty. The court directed payment within 8 weeks, with the interest rate escalating to 24% if payment is delayed, and allowed recovery of interest from responsible officials. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
