Almost 22 retired teachers, who won the 2010 case in the Bombay High Court against Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to get their pension, have to approach the court in 2012 again, to get their dues.

After their win, the BMC started paying them Rs 3,000 as pension but considered them ‘untrained’ because they have completed their Dip Ed course but not the D Ed one. The pension of a teacher who has completed D Ed should be above
Rs 10, 000. The retired teachers claim that the BMC never raised any questions about their qualification while they were still teaching.
