new Delhi, Oct. 8 -- A peon's 11-year wait for pension has shaken up Uttar Pradesh's bureaucracy and judiciary, with the Supreme Court directing the state's chief secretary to put in place a mechanism to ensure that pension papers are not delayed "even by a day" and the Allahabad High Court to consider fast-tracking all pension cases. A bench of justices KV Viswanathan and Arun Palli issued the directions after being confronted with the case of Jagdish Prasad Tripathi, who retired as a peon in 2016 after 32 years of unblemished service but was left without his legitimate retiral dues for nearly 11 years. What happened to Tripathi, the bench said, was an "unfortunate calamity" that should not befall any other employee. It directed the chief secretary to submit by December 31 a report explaining why his pension papers were not cleared immediately after retirement, identifying the officials responsible for the delay, detailing proposed action against them and explaining how the state proposed to compensate him for the "serious violation" of his rights and "grave injustice". The court also directed the chief secretary to issue necessary orders or standard operating procedures, if not already in place, to ensure that pension papers of employees legitimately entitled to their dues are not delayed "even by a day"....
