The Telangana Human Rights Commission (TGHRC) has expressed displeasure over the delay by Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), Hyderabad, in releasing the pensionary benefits of a retired professor, observing that keeping such benefits pending for nearly 12 years amounted to subjecting the retired employee to undue hardship and mental agony.

The NIMS officials were directed to ensure that the entire pensionary benefits payable to the complainant are determined and released within three weeks of receiving a copy of the order.
