Hyderabad bench of CAT rejects plea on commutation of pensions
HYDERABAD: Citing established Supreme Court rulings on the matter, the Hyderabad bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal has rejected the pleas filed by a group of retired forest officials and senior bureaucrats seeking a directive to the Union government to halt the recovery of pension commutation amounts once the total sum, along with interest, has been fully recovered. The CAT bench, comprising Judicial Member Lata Baswaraj Patne and Administrative Member Shalini Misra dismissed the pleas filed by the group comprising Chief Conservators of Forests, Principal Chief Conservators and senior bureaucrats. They cited the instance of the Telangana High Court — in a batch of petitions filed by retired tahsildar Bobbadi Appa Rao and others — directing the state government to halt recovery once the total amount had been reimbursed. The CAT bench, however, pointed to the Supreme Court’s position on pension commutation.
