Smt Khan worked as an assistant teacher in an educational institution in Faizabad starting August 16, 1992. She retired from service on March 31, 2019, but the school refused to give her gratuity. The school said she was too old-the retirement age is 60 but she was 62 when she retired.
On September 13, 2023, the Principal Secretary, Minority Welfare Department, Government of Uttar Pradesh, rejected Smt Khan’s gratuity payment solely on the ground that she did not retire at 60 and continued to work till the age of 62.
