Financial Constraints Cannot Justify Pension Delay | State Must Complete Administrative Process Within 14 Weeks: Andhra Pradesh HC

This sets a binding precedent for all government departments handling pension liabilities, affirming that constitutional rights to timely social security override bureaucratic fiscal excuses.
