‘Pension cannot be denied dehors the authority of law’; SC sets aside BSF Commandant’s conviction, allows him to retain superannuation benefits
The Court said that the search of the Commandant’s house did not result in recovery of any incriminating documents/article and without other materials incriminating the appellant or pointing to his guilt, the statement of a single person alone cannot result in conviction of the Commandant and deprive him of his pension benefits.
