Recent court orders highlight ongoing challenges for CSTC and the West Bengal government regarding employee benefit payments. The High Court at Calcutta has repeatedly directed the state to expedite the disbursement of 180-day leave encashment payments to retired employees, including N.C. Bihani and Mahendra Nath Chakraborty, following earlier decisions made in May and July 2025. Simultaneously, a contempt proceeding against CSTC Managing Director Shiraz Daneshyar has been dropped due to demonstrated compliance with prior court directives. These developments suggest potential financial implications for CSTC and the state government, as well as increased scrutiny of their adherence to legal obligations concerning employee compensation.
