Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under the Bank of Baroda (Employees) Pension Regulation, 1995, an employee removed from service can still be entitled to superannuation benefits if the disciplinary authority's order does not explicitly forfeit such benefits. The Court affirmed the Industrial Tribunal's award that the denial of pension and leave encashment to the employee was unjustified, emphasizing that the removal did not negate eligibility for benefits if other conditions were met. The Court dismissed the petitioner's challenge, upholding the entitlement to pension, leave encashment, gratuity, and commutation of pension.
