Grant Pension to Ex-employee (Retired Army Personnel): CAT to Delhi Government.

Grant Pension to Ex-employee (Retired Army Personnel): CAT to Delhi Government.

New Delhi: Observing that the aim of pension is to provide social security to government servants, the Central Administrative Tribunal has directed the Delhi government to grant pension to one of its former employees who was denied the benefit on the ground that he had resigned before completing 20 years in service.

"The object of pension rules itself is to provide social security to government servants, by way of pension, but not to deny the same even to a dismissed, removed or compulsorily retired government servant," CAT member Ajay Kumar said.

The tribunal made the observations while deciding in favour of petitioner Amar Singh, a retired army personnel who had challenged the Delhi government's order rejecting his requests for pension.

After serving in the Army Medical Corps as Naik, Singh retired on March 24, 1986. On March 22, 1988 he joined as a laboratory technician in Aruna Asif Ali hospital against a vacancy reserved for ex-serviceman. After serving there for 18 years 4 months and 9 days, he resigned on July 1, 2006, stating he intends to dedicate himself fully in the spiritual service of the society.


He had submitted that his repeated requests for pension and gratuity were denied by the hospital which said he had not completed the required service of 20 years to qualify for the benefits.

Later, the authorities concerned told him that his case was referred to the Finance (Accounts) Department of Delhi government which had clarified that he is not entitled to any post-retirement benefit as he had resigned from his post unconditionally and not to take up employment in another government entity.

The government also relied upon a pension rule to say that its object was to provide benefit of past service to those who take up another employment under the government after resigning to the earlier service or post even before completing the qualifying service.

Hence, in the instant case the financial benefit needs to be given from 01.01.2006 if the individual is on duty on 02.01.2006 and his next increment is to be provided w.e.f.1.7.2006. However, if the incumbent is on regular leave on 02.01.2006, the benefit of promotion cannot be given w.e.f. 1.1.2006 but benefit of promotion may be allowed from the date of actual resumption of duty on or after 3.1.2006. In such cases, next increment cannot be provided to them w.e.f.1.7.2006, if not opted for final fixation from the date of drawl of increment in the lower pay.
