#Welcome #verdict
The Kerala High Court’s directive to furnish all retirement benefits to Dr. Ciza Thomas is a welcome and commendable verdict that upholds justice and administrative fairness.
It is deeply unfortunate that a respected academician, who served as the interim Vice-Chancellor of Kerala Technological University, had to wait over two years for what is rightfully hers.
The deliberate delay appears to be a form of veiled retribution against those who uphold integrity and stand firm against governmental wrongdoing. It an all-too-familiar tactic seen in Kerala, where individuals are burdened with court expenses while the state spends taxpayers' money to suppress dissent.
However, as seen in the case of T.P. Senkumar, such unjust strategies cannot deter persons of principle. Dr. Ciza Thomas’s perseverance in the face of adversity is admirable, and the court’s verdict serves as a strong reaffirmation that truth and virtue will ultimately prevail.
