State Of Kerala And Ors vs M. Padmanabhan Nair on 17 December, 1984
9.The last contention of the petitioners that
because of the pendency of these writ petitions,
the terminal benefits of the petitioners even
taking their age of retirement as 60 years have
not been settled, needs to be addressed by the
University. There cannot be denial of or delay in
the settlement of terminal benefits to the
employees who having rendered peaceful service
have attained the age of superannuation. The
pension not being a bounty is the property of the
retirees and if there is a delay, the same needs to
be deprecated vide judgment of the Apex Court
