Mohammad Majhar vs State Of U.P. And 2 Others on 9 December, 2020
14. I have also perused the judgment of Mohammad Majhar
(supra) and Gambhir Singh (supra). In these cases,
gratuity/pension was withheld due to pendency of criminal case
against the employee and the said criminal case had nothing to do
with the discharge of his public duties in the office. In the said
case, while referring the different provisions of CCS (Pension)
Rules 1972, it has been held that if criminal case pending against
the employee had nothing to do with his official duties, his gratuity
cannot be withheld.
