Deokinandan Prasad V. State of Bihar reported in (1971) 2 SCC 330
Pension is a right, not a privilege, and must be paid promptly as per statutory rules, with interest for delays.
A petitioner is not entitled to interest on delayed retiral dues when the delay is caused by the petitioner's own failure to complete necessary formalities.
Retiral dues must be released promptly after disciplinary proceedings; unjustified delays warrant interest on delayed payments.
Government employees are entitled to interest on delayed payment of pension and gratuity, and the rate of interest is determined based on the date the amount has fallen due, as per relevant legal pro....
Pension and gratuity are rights of employees, mandating timely payment, with penalties for unjustified delays in disbursement.
