ACP Scheme & Pension Entitlement | Post-Retirement Chargesheet Cannot Justify Withholding Retiral Benefits : Punjab & Haryana HC
Punjab & Haryana High Court rules that disciplinary proceedings initiated after retirement cannot be used to withhold full pension or Assured Career Progression (ACP) benefits. The court directed payment of all retiral dues with 6% interest within two months, reinforcing that superannuation extinguishes the state's power to penalize through financial deprivation.
