2) The Director,

Panaji-Goa

… Respondents.

INQUIRY REPORT/ORDER

(17th March, 2021)

The Complaint dated 17-07-2019 was inwarded

in the Commission on the same day in respect of

delay in pension of the Complainant after his

voluntary retirement as LDC in the Civil and

Criminal Court, South Goa, Margao.

2. The Complainant states that he is an

Ex-serviceman who was appointed as Goa

Government Employee by the District and Sessions

Judge, South Goa, Margao, by Order dated

05-12-2003 and he joined his duties on 10-12-2003.

3. He was relieved on voluntary retirement

on 21-01-2017 in pursuance of the Order dated

10-01-2017 of the Respondent No.1, stating that he

had rendered more than 10 years of service,

qualifying for pension to the Government as on

date. Thereafter, he submitted his pension papers.

4. The case of the Complainant is that, a

Government servant appointed in a pensionable

establishment on or before 31-12-2003 and who

retires from Government service with a qualifying

service of 10 years or more, is eligible for pension

in terms of CCS Pension Rule 49(2). Accordingly, he

prayed that the pension may be released which he

is deprived of and he feels that he is being

victimized.

5. On perusing the complaint, the Commission

by Order dated 19-07-2019 called for the report

from the Respondents.

6. The Respondent No. 2, the Director of Accounts,

filed his reply on 16-08-2019. They stated that the

Complainant has completed a qualifying service of

10 years based on the entry in his service book.

They stated that the Respondent No. 1 stood

relieved from his duties from 21-01-2017 accepting

his notice for voluntary retirement in terms of

Rule 5(i) of the State Civil Services (Retirement)

Rules, 2000.

7. The Respondent No. 2 states that the pension

case of the Complainant was returned back to the

Respondent No. 1 by letter dated 05-02-2018

seeking clarifications as regards sanction of

pensionary benefits in terms of Rule 5(i) of the

State Civil Services (Retirement) Rules, 2000 and

the pension case was re-submitted by Respondent

No. 1 by letter dated 05-03-2018 stating that the

Respondent No. 1 has conveyed that the pensionary

benefits have been sanctioned to the Complainant,

as per Rule 49(2) of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972.

8. The Respondent No. 2 states that the benefits

of Rule 49(2) of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 apply

to the Government servant who retires under the

provisions of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 and

since the Complainant stands retired voluntarily

under the Goa State Civil Service (Retirement)

Rules, 2000, he is not entitled for pension under

the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972.

9. The Respondent No. 2 states that the State

Civil Services (Retirement) Rules, 2000 do not

specify as to how the pensionary benefits are to be

regulated and they returned the pension papers

back to Respondent No. 1 by letter dated

13-07-2018 and the same was not re-submitted by

Respondent No. 1 till date.

10. The Respondent No. 2 states that the delay

in finalizing and settlement of pensionary benefits

is not caused on the part of the Respondent No. 2.

11. The Respondent No.1 filed their reply dated

19-08-2019 giving details in respect of the pension

papers of the Complainant. They referred to the

letter dated 17-08-2016 from the Dy. Director,

Directorate of Accounts, Panaji informing that the

department is not the competent authority to

examine and clarify the subject matter.

The Respondent No.1 has stated that the

application for retirement of the Complainant in

terms of Rule 5(i) of the Goa State Civil Services

(Retirement) Rules, 2000 was accepted and the

Complainant was relieved on 21-01-2017 to proceed

on voluntary retirement.

12. The Respondent No.1 states that on return of

the pension papers by the Respondent No. 2 by

letter dated 13-07-2018, the Office of the Senior

Civil Judge & CJM, Margao was requested to

depute the responsible Head Clerk to the

Directorate of Accounts with regard to the

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 22

26TH AUGUST, 2021

452

observations and compliance of the pension case

papers.

13. The Respondent No.1 states that on

08-01-2019, Shri Thomas Silva, Head Clerk was

deputed to the Directorate of Accounts and he

was informed that the Complainant, who had

retired in terms of Rule 5(i) of the Goa State Civil

Services (Retirement) Rules, 2000 is not entitled for

pension as he has not completed the required

number of years of service for pension and if

required, the Respondent No. 1 may approach the

Government for further necessary action.

14. The Respondent No.1 states that,

accordingly, the Senior Civil Judge & CJM

forwarded the Complainant’s letter dated

14-03-2019 to the Finance Department (Revenue &

Control), Panaji, through the Department of Law &

Judiciary, Porvorim-Goa and requested the

Secretary (Finance) Secretariat, Porvorim-Goa to

look into the matter and do the needful at the

earliest.

15. In the course of the proceedings, the

Complainant had filed an application to produce

additional documents dated 11-09-2020. The

Commission passed Order thereon that the

relevancy of the documents will be kept open for

consideration at the final stage.

16. At the stage of final arguments, written

arguments were filed by the Advocate Shri

Crizanto Fernandes for the Complainant and he

was also heard in the matter. Advocate Ms. Harsha

Naik argued on behalf of the Respondents.

17. The Commission has gone through the

records and proceedings and the documents relied

on by the parties, as well as considered the oral

and written submissions.

18. The Goa State Civil Services (Retirement)

Rules, 2000 under Rule 3(5)(i) reads as under:

“Any Government servant may, by giving

notice of not less than three months in writing

to the appropriate authority, retire from service

after he has attained the age of fifty years if he

is in Group ‘A’ or Group ‘E’ service or post (and

had entered Government service before

attaining the age of thirty five years) and in all

other cases, after he has attained the age of

fifty five years”.

19. As seen from the above rule, any Government

servant may by giving notice of not less than 3

months, retire from services after attaining the age

of 55 years. As the Complainant had retired from

Government services on 21-01-2017, after attaining

the age of 55 years, there is no dispute that he

retired in terms of Rule 3(5)(i) of Goa State Civil

Services (Retirement) Rules, 2000. There is no

dispute in this respect. As seen from the reply of

the Respondent No. 1, the Complainant’s notice

dated 20-10-2016 of his intention to retire from

Government services was accepted by the

Respondent No. 1 noting that he had rendered

more than 10 years service qualifying for pension.

The Notice was in terms of Rule 3(5)(i) of the Goa

State Civil Services (Retirement) Rules, 2000 and

he was relieved from duties w.e.f. 21-01-2017

(forenoon).

20. On the Respondent No. 2 seeking

clarifications from the Respondent No. 1, the

Respondent No.1 informed the Respondent No. 2

by letter dated 19-03-2018, that the pensionary

benefits have been sanctioned to the Complainant

as per Rule 49(2) of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972.

21. Rule 49(2) of the CCS Rules, 1972, reads as

under:

“Rule 49(2) of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972

provides that a Government servant is entitled

to receive pension on retirement only after the

completion of the qualifying service of 10 years.

The relevant extract of Rule 49 of the CCS

(Pension) Rules, 1972 is reproduced hereunder

for ready reference:

“49. Amount of Pension (1) In the case of a

Government servant retiring in accordance

with the provisions of these rules before

completing qualifying service of ten years, the

amount of service gratuity shall be calculated

at the rate of half month’s emoluments for every

completed six monthly period of qualifying

service.

(2) (a) In the case of a Government servant

retiring in accordance with the provisions of

these rules after completing qualifying service

of not less than thirty-three years, the amount

of pension shall be calculated at fifty per cent

of average emoluments, subject to a maximum

of four thousand and five hundred rupees per

mensem;

(b) In the case of a Government servant retiring

in accordance with the provisions of these rules

before completing qualifying service of thirty-

three years, but after completing qualifying

service of ten years, the amount of pension

admissible under Clause (a) and in no case

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 22

26TH AUGUST, 2021

453

the amount of pension shall be less than

Rupees three hundred and seventy-five per

mensem; ...”.

22. On the Complainant’s fresh letter dated

22-03-2019 to the Respondent No.1 to refer his case

to the Finance Department, the Respondent No. 1

by letter dated 13-05-2019 forwarded the complaint

through the Law & Judiciary Department to the

Finance Department. In turn the Law Department

by letter dated 14-02-2019 forwarded the copy of

the representation alongwith enclosures to the

Finance Secretary.

23. On going through the additional documents

submitted by the Complainant with the application

dated 11-09-2020, obtained under RTI, the

Commission finds that the representation dated

22-03-2019 of the Complainant was placed before

the Finance department relating to delay in

pension and was forwarded to the Directorate of

Accounts for obtaining details.

24. The Directorate of Accounts had put their

recommendation that the benefits of Rule 49(2) can

be extended to only those who retire under the

CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 and as the present

Complainant is retired in terms of Rule 5(i) of

the State Civil Services (Retirement) Rules, 2000,

Rule 49(2) is not applicable in the present case.

25. The same was examined by the Finance

Department calling for comments of the Personnel

Department as to how the pensionary benefits are

to be regulated of those employees who voluntarily

retire in terms of the Retirement Rules, 2000 and

the Personnel Department have endorsed their

Notes, at page 8/N, 9/N & 10/N of the said file

No. 21-1-2019.

26. After observing that the Directorate of

Accounts holds that the Complainant is not

entitled for pension under Rule 49(2) of CCS

(Pension) Rules, 1972, the Personnel Department

has submitted that the Goa State Civil Services

(Retirement) Rules, 2000 does not specify the

manner of regulating the pensionary benefits to

such employees who have retired in terms of these

rules.

27. At Serial No. 15, the following has been noted

by the Personnel department:

“The Goa State Civil Services (Retirement) Rules,

2000 were framed to substitute the relevant

provisions of FR-56 as laid down under these

Rules. It therefore means that other provisions

of FR & SR would apply to Government

Servants in the State but for the corresponding

portion of FR 56 as contained therein”.

This is totally true as under Rule 4(i), in respect

of “Cessation and Saving”, on and from coming

into force of the Goa Rules, the provisions of FR 56

shall cease to apply to all the employees in Group

‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’ & ‘D’ posts under the Government of Goa.

Thus, the Goa Rules only substituted the relevant

provision of FR 56, which itself was in respect of

compulsory/voluntary retirement of Government

servants.

28. The Joint Secretary (Personnel) of the

Personnel Department had noted at Sr. No.17, that

the Directorate of Accounts have settled all other

cases for pensionary benefits though the CCS

(Pension) Rules, 1972 does not amp licitly cover

cases of employees returning in terms of Goa State

Civil Service (Retirement) Rules, 2000.

29. In the concluding Note No.18, in page 10/N,

it has been stated as under:

“It will be therefore appropriate to advert the

implied interpretation in the above cases to

the case of Shri Jesue Deuido Furtado and

grant him pension in accordance with Rule

49 of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972".

(Emphasis added)

30. The interpretation of the Personnel

Department has been approved by the Chief

Secretary on 10-12-2019 and by the Hon’ble Chief

Minister on 11-12-2019, i.e. by the Goa Government,

i.e. by the Competent Authority. The issue involved

herein required interpretation of the pension rules.

The matter being service related as per the rules

of business is within the competence of the

Personnel Department to interpret and adjudicate

in the matter. Thus, the interpretation of the

Personnel Department on the issue in dispute

having been approved by the Hon’ble Chief

Minister, as the Minister for Personnel, attained

finality and settled the disputed issue.

31. On the file, coming back to the Finance

Department, it was noted that the Joint Secretary

(Personnel) has examined the matter vide notings

at pages 8/N to 10/N and has concluded that the

pension may be granted to Shri J. D. Furtado in

accordance with the Rule 49(2) of the CCS Pension

Rules, 1972. The file was then referred to Accounts

for examination of the matter.

32. Thereupon the Directorate of Accounts again

made a detailed note dated 19-06-2020, that the

matter may be re-examined, as there will be two

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 22

454

concurrent voluntary Retirement Rules/Schemes

and the regulation of pensionary benefits would

be contradictory. As already pointed out above,

the matter was examined by the Joint Secretary

(Personnel) and approved by the Government of

Goa, the decision of the Personnel Department being

approved by the Chief Secretary and the Hon’ble

Chief Minister, and thus decided the matter in

favour of the Complainant. Yet the Complainant

has been harassed by the non-payment of his

pension.

33. On going through the records, the

Commission finds that the Complainant has been

made to run from pillar to post and yet his pension

has not been paid to him for last over 4 years after

his retirement on 21-01-2017. The Complainant

had joined the “Goa Government Services on

10-12-2003 after earlier having been an

Ex-Serviceman and Veteran from the Indian Air

Force and having served in the Air Force for 20

years and who was discharged on 31-12-1999.

Thereafter, he served in the Civil Court at

Margao for 13 years, 1 month and 12 days, as on

21-01-2017, when he retired. By non-payment of his

pension dues for over 4 years and till date, his

human rights have been and continue to be

violated, resulting in his undue harassment.

34. At this stage, the Commission would consider

it appropriate to refer to the Judgments of the

Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in respect of

payments of pension.

35. The Supreme Court of India in D.S. Nakara

& Others vs. Union of India, AIR 1983 SC 130,

has made the following observations on right to

pension.

“The antiquated notion of pension being a

bounty or a gratuitous payment depending

upon the sweet will or grace of the employer

not claimable as a right and therefore, no right

to pension can be enforced through Court has

been swept under the carpet by the decision of

the Constitution Bench in Deoki Nandan

Prasad v. State of Bihar & Ors. (1971) 2 SCC

330, wherein this Court authoritatively ruled

that pension is a right and the payment of it

does not depend upon the discretion of the

Government but is governed by rules and a

Government servant coming within those rules

is entitled to claim pension”.

36. In State of Jharkhand & Ors. Vs. Jitendra

Kumar Srivastava & Anr, (2013) 12 SCC 210, the

Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, referred to the

above case and held as under:

“ 7. It is an accepted position that gratuity

and pension are not the bounties. An

employee earns these benefits by dint of his

long, continuous, faithful and un-blemished

service. Conceptually it is so lucidly described

in D.S. Nakara and Ors. Vs. Union of India,

(1983) 1 SCC 305 by Justice D. A. Desai, who

spoke for the Bench, in his inimitable style, in

the following words:

“The approach of the respondents raises a

vital and none too easy to answer, question,

as to why pension is paid. And why was it

required to be liberalised? Is the employer,

which expression will include even the State,

bound to pay pension? Is there any obligation

on the employer to provide for the erstwhile

employee even after the contract of

employment has come to an end and the

employee has ceased to render service?

What is a pension? What are the goals of

pension? What public interest or purpose, if

any, it seeks to serve?

If it does seek to serve some public purpose,

is it thwarted by such artificial division of

retirement pre and post a certain date? We

need seek answer to these and incidental

questions so as to render just justice between

parties to this petition. The antiquated notion

of pension being a bounty, a gratituous

payment depending upon the sweet will or

grace of the employer not claimable as a right

and, therefore, no right to pension can be

enforced through Court, has been swept

under the carpet by the decision of the

Constitution Bench in Deoki Nandan Prasad

V. State of Bihar and Ors. [1971] Su. S.C.R. 634,

wherein this Court authoritatively ruled that

pension is a right and the payment of it does

not depend upon the discretion of the

Government but is governed by the rules and

a Government servant coming within those

rules is entitled to claim pension.

It was further held that the grant of pension

does not depend upon anyone’s discretion. It

is only for the purpose of quantifying the

amount having regard to service and other

allied maters that it may be necessary for the

authority to pass an order to that effect but

the right to receive pension flows to the

officer not because of any such order but by

virtue of the rules. This view was reaffirmed

in State of Punjab and Anr. V. Iqbal Singh

(1976) IILLJ 377SC”.

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 22

26TH AUGUST, 2021

455

It is thus hard earned benefit which accrues

to an employee and is in the nature of

“property”. This right to property cannot be

taken away without the due process of law as

per the provisions of Article 300A of the

Constitution of India.”

37. Guided by the above case laws and the fact

that the issue as regards to eligibility of the

Complainant for pension, had been finally

adjudicated by the Competent Authority, i.e. by

the Personnel Department, the Respondent No. 2

could not have raised any objection to the said

decision, which objection has caused further delay

in release of the pension of the Complainant. Hence,

the Commission finds that it is appropriate to

recommend to the Respondent No. 2 to forthwith

disperse the pension alongwith arrears of the

pension of the Complainant in accordance with

Rule 49 of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972.

38. In view of the delay in payment of the

pension dues, the Ld. Advocate for the Complainant

sought that appropriate interest be awarded to

the Complainant.

39. To consider the same, the following decisions

would be relevant to be quoted.

The Honourable Supreme Court in the case of

(Dr. Uma Agarwal Vs. State of U.P. and another)

1999 (3) Supreme Court Cases 438, held that when

there is delay in disbursement of the pensionary

benefits, the department is liable to pay interest

thereof. In Para No. 5 to 7 of the said case, it was

held as follows:-

“5. If rules/instructions which prescribe time

schedule for settling of retirement dues, are

followed strictly, much of litigation can be

avoided and retired Government servants

would not feel harassed. Pension is not a

bounty but right of a Government servant.

Government is obliged to follow rules. Delay

in settling retiral benefits isfrustrating and

must be avoided at all costs. Such delays are

occurring even in regard to family pensions

for which too, there is a prescribed procedure.

This indeed is unfortunate. In cases where a

retired government servant claims interest for

delayed payment, the Court can certainly

keep in mind time schedule prescribed in the

rules/instructions, apart from other relevant

factors applicable to a case.

6. The present case is a clear example of

inexcusable department delay. Respondents

contend that letters were sent to the

petitioner after her retirement seeking some

information for settling her retirement dues

but this is denied by the petitioner. Even if it

is assumed that such letters were sent, this

cannot be an excuse for lethargy of the

department because rules/instructions

provide for initiation of process much before

retirement. The exercise which was to be

completed much before retirement was in fact

started long after petitioner’s retirement.

7. This is a fit case for awarding interest to

the petitioner. It is however not necessary

that the matter should go back to the

Government for computation of interest.

Instead, on the facts of this case, interest is

quantified at Rs. 1 lakh. The same shall be

paid to the petitioner within two months.”......

40. Similarly, in the case of (D.D. Tewari (dead)

through legal representatives Vs. Uttar Haryana

Bulivitran Nigam Limited and others) (2014) 8

Supreme Court Cases 894 the Honourable Supreme

Court held that denial of interest from the date of

entitlement till the date of actual disbursement

would take away the valuable rights of the retired

government servant. It was reiterated in that

decision that pension and gratuity are not bounty

to be distributed by Government to its employees

on their retirement, but are valuable rights and

property in its hands and any culpable delay in

settlement and disbursement thereof is to be visited

with penalty of payment of interest.

41. In the case of (State of Kerala and others

Vs. V. Padmanabhan Nair) (1985) 1 Supreme Court

Cases 429, it was held that prompt payment of

retirement benefits is the duty of the Government

and any failure in that direction will entail the

Government liable to pay penal interest to the

Government servant. It was further held that

gratuity should be paid on the date of retirement

or on the following day and pension should be

paid at the expiry of the following month. In that

case, the Supreme Court, finding that there was

delay in disbursement of the terminal benefits,

directed the respondents therein to disburse the

pensionary benefits with interest at the rate of 6%

per annum.

42. It is very important to refer to the landmark

judgment of the Supreme Court, in the case of

Union of India V. Tarmen Singh, (2008) 8 SCC

648, wherein it was observed that if the issue

relates to payment or refixation of pay or pension,

relief may be granted inspite of delay as it does not

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 22

26TH AUGUST, 2021

456

affect the rights of third parties.

It held as under:-

“That the right of a retired employee to get

his retiral dues on the date of attaining

superannuation is a valuable right which

accrues in his favour on the date of his

attaining superannuation. Further, pension is

no more considered to be a bounty to be

handed out by the State at its whim. An

employee has a right to receive pension upon

retirement. If payment of such pension is

delayed, the retired employee is surely

entitled to get some interest for such delayed

payment.

Pension and gratuity are aimed at maintaining

the life of a retired employee and his/her

dependents, these are welfare provisions and

even if there is delay on the part of a retired

employee to approach the Court claiming

interest on delayed payment of pensionary

benefits, the delay per se should not be the

ground for rejection of the writ petition.

No third party interest will be affected by a

direction on the State to compensate the

retired employee for delayed payment of

pensionary benefits by paying interest at a

reasonable rate.”

43. In Civil Appeal No. 399 of 2021, The State

of Andhra Pradesh and Another, Versus

Smt. Dinavahi Lakshmi Kameswari, decided on

8th February, 2021, the Supreme Court directed that

interest shall be paid to all pensioners of the State

at the rate of 6% per annum on the deferred portion,

for the period of delay.

44. Based on the above case laws and in the

facts of the present case and in terms of Section

18(a)(i) of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993,

the Commission recommends that the Respondent

No. 2 shall make payments of the arrears of pension

to the Complainant, Shri Jesus Devido Furtado, due

from 21-01-2017, in accordance with Rule 49 of the

CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972, within 60 days from today

and his future pensions be paid in accordance with

law. The Commission recommends that all the

arrears of the pension due from 21-01-2017 be paid

to the Complainant with simple interest thereon of

6% per annum from the due dates till final payment,

within 60 days from today.

Accordingly, the Proceedings stand disposed of.
