It is prima facie clear that there is no legal impediment for non-submission of the pension proposal of the Petitioner, in as much as, non-payment of the retiral dues including the gratuity amount. Apparently, the Management of the College which an autonomous college, has not forwarded the proposal until 30.12.2024. 4.

We are posting this matter on 6th March, 2025 in the supplementary board, to afford an opportunity to the College to explain why such delay was caused with reference to a qualified professor who has superannuated on 30.9.2023, in so far as non submissions of the proposals for pension, which is normally to be done 6 months prior to the retirement of an employee and payment of gratuity 5.

On the next date, if we are not satisfied with the explanation of the College, we would proceed to pass an order. (ASHWIN D. BHOBE, J.) (RAVINDRA V. GHUGE, J.) Talwalkar
