Court denies severance pay to public official who retired upon contract termination under specific administrative reform rules.

The Supreme Court ruled that a public official employed as a senior inspector was not entitled to severance pay upon contract termination. The plaintiff argued for compensation based on general administrative reform provisions, while the state contended the employee had already acquired retirement rights. The court decided that because the official met the conditions for early retirement, the statutory severance benefit was excluded by the specific rules governing that group of employees.
