Supreme Court grants pension right retroactively after Constitutional Court invalidates age-based discrimination law.

The Supreme Court partially allowed the cassation appeal, overturning the appellate court's refusal to grant a pension retroactively. The applicant argued that a Constitutional Court ruling invalidating age discrimination meant he should receive benefits from the date he met the criteria, not the date of the decision. The court held that once a law loses its presumption of constitutionality, lower courts must apply the new constitutional standard immediately, granting the pension from the date the applicant fulfilled the requirements.
