Punjab and Haryana High Court Orders Accountability for Pension Delays and Posthumous Service Regularisation
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has addressed delays in pension and retirement benefits, holding Heads of Office responsible for lapses and directing Chief Secretaries to fix accountability. Separately, the court ordered the posthumous regularisation of Shingara Singh, a jail warder who served nearly 27 years but died without formal regularisation, granting his family pension and dues with interest. The rulings emphasize timely processing of benefits and recognition of accrued rights despite administrative delays.
