Indian High Courts Restore Pension and Revoke Forced Retirement in Separate Cases
Two Indian high courts recently ruled on cases involving compulsory retirement. The Madhya Pradesh High Court restored full pension to a retired Central Bank branch manager, citing procedural lapses in reducing his pension without board consultation. Meanwhile, the Telangana High Court revoked the forced retirement of a trial court judge, deeming the punishment disproportionate to the misconduct and ordering his reinstatement without back wages. Both rulings emphasize adherence to proper procedures and proportionality in disciplinary actions.
