Chief General Manager Gujarat Telecom ... vs Manilal Ambalal Patel

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that there were no pending criminal proceedings against the applicant as of 01.08.2008, thus entitling him to receive the DCRG and Commuted Value of Pension (CVP) along with interest for the delay in payment. The Court emphasized that the Central Administrative Tribunal's order to pay interest was justified under the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972, as the delay was unwarranted. The appeal by the appellants was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
