Conviction Under PC Act Does Not Automatically Forfeit Gratuity & Leave Encashment | MP HC Mandates Timely Decision with 6% Interest

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that conviction under the Prevention of Corruption Act does not automatically forfeit gratuity, leave encashment, or insurance dues. Authorities must decide on forfeiture within 45 days, failing which the amounts must be released with 6% interest, ensuring procedural fairness in service law.
