HC Kerala: Right to pension a constitutional right, cannot be at the whims and fancies of employers

The Kerala High Court recently held that the right to pension is a constitutional right and that pensions cannot be paid to retired employees merely at the whims and fancies of the employers.
Justice VG Arun observed that pension is deferred salary and the right to the same is akin to the right to property under Article 300A of the Constitution.
