Madhya Pradesh HC Questions State For Delaying Retired Lokayukta Member's Family Pension Inspite Of Amendment Made In Rules

The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that retired Supreme Court judge P.P. Naolekar is entitled to a pension from the Madhya Pradesh government, despite the state’s contention that he should not receive the pension. The Court upheld Naolekar’s right to the pension, stating that it is a statutory entitlement. This ruling reinforces the principle that judicial officers, including retired judges, are entitled to their pension benefits as per the law, irrespective of administrative disagreements.
