Kerala High Court Reassures KSRTC Pensioners That Pension Will Be Paid On Time, Warns Govt Of Contempt Proceedings

Live Law  

The Kerala High Court when apprised of the news about the suicide of a KSRTC retiree, urged the pensioners not to take steps which are irrational and unnecessary. Justice Devan Ramachandran said that he would decide whether to initiate suo motu contempt proceedings against the Government on the 4th of September after seeing how the government is planning to pay the pensioners. The Court had ordered in 2022 August that the pension of KSRTC employees shall be paid by the Government within a week of that month. This Court is pained to know that people are even taking extreme measures in desperation.” In the present case, the government informed the Court that they had stepped in and provided Rs 71.5 Crores.
