Telangana HC orders release of retirement benefits to ex-district court staff

Petitioner Kumar claimed that he was superannuated six months ago and still has not received his retirement benefits of Rs 90 lakhs.

Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court has ordered the state government to release pending retirement benefits to a former employee of the Ranga Reddy district court within four weeks.

The directive was issued by a division bench comprising Justice P Sam Koshy and Justice Nandikonda Narsingarao while hearing the petition filed by Vijay Kumar.

Petitioner Kumar claimed that he was superannuated six months ago and still has not received his retirement benefits of Rs 90 lakhs, including General Provident Fund and other dues.

He approached the High Court after the delay, seeking directions from the court to the authorities. The Bench subsequently directed Sandeep Kumar Sultania, Principal Secretary of the Finance Department, to supervise the release of the pending amount within four weeks.

In case of non-compliance, the state government would be liable to pay 18 per cent annual interest

from the date of issuance of the bill token number until the payment is completed.
