Order to dispose of the application within 3 months

Allahabad High Court has issued orders to the state government to form a committee in this matter and take the representations of the petitioners and dispose of it within 3 months. Also, now their pension will not be cut.

Pension not recovered from petitioners

The court has clarified that the pension will not be recovered from the petitioners. This order has been passed by a single bench of Justice Rajesh Singh Chauhan. The petitioners argued that they had taken a lump sum amount on the basis of pension at the time of retirement. To recover that, a certain amount will be deducted from the monthly pension of the petitioners.

This is the matter

The amount of monthly deduction is a little more than 1% of the amount taken by the employees at the time of retirement. Thus, with the monthly deduction being made, the advance pension taken by the employees is paid along with interest in 10 years and 11 months. Which can be roughly considered as 11 years. It can be recovered for a maximum of 12 years.

It was also argued that a government order was issued by the state government on 8 December 2008. Through which the interest for monthly deduction has been made 15 years, which is not legally correct. At the same time, the Finance Department told the court that a committee has been formed to resolve the problems of the petitioners.

On this, the court has given the petitioners one month to submit their representations to the committee and after that, has ordered to dispose of the representations within 3 months. In such a situation, the pension of these pensioners of Uttar Pradesh will no longer be deducted.
