Abdul Razak Mohamed Hussain vs. M.M.N.D. Bandara and Others – SC FR NO. 464/07-2011

In the case between Abdul Razak Mohamed Hussain and governmental authorities including officials from the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Public Administration and Home Affairs, the Department of Pensions, and the Public Service Commission, the court addressed the issue of entitlement to pension benefits under Clause 10.2 of Public Administration Circular No. 09/2004 versus Clause 10.1, as well as the correct interpretation of retirement dates for computing pension entitlements. It was held that the petitioner, having retired on 01‑12‑2004, falls within the scope of Clause 10.1 and is therefore not entitled to the additional benefits available under Clause 10.2. The principle reaffirmed is that the classification of pension benefits is rigidly determined by the retirement date stipulate
