Orissa High Court Rules Retired Judge Entitled to Post-Retirement Benefits Despite Transfer
The Orissa High Court ruled that retired Justice Chitta Ranjan Dash is entitled to post-retirement benefits from the Odisha Government despite retiring from the Calcutta High Court after transfer. The court set aside the state's order limiting his benefits to medical facilities, emphasizing that such allowances support dignity after public service and are not favors. The ruling clarified that transfer between High Courts does not extinguish entitlement to benefits, provided the judge is not receiving them elsewhere.
