Shri B.K. Mehta, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the, appellant assailed the impugned judgment of the Divi sion Bench of the High Court inter alia contending (1) that the High Court had clearly gone wrong in upholding the impugned order of reduction in pension made in the purported exercise of power under Rules 188 and 189 of the Bombay Rules in view of the finding of this Court in C.A. No. 409 of 1966, Takhatray Shivdatray Mankad 's, case (supra), where in it was held that the Bombay Rules could not be made applicable to the appellant; (2) that the appellant is not governed by the Saurashtra Rules because the said rules do not provide for compulsory retirement as pointed out by the Supreme Court in C.A. No. 409 of 1966 and (3) 223 that the State Government has not specifically stated in the show cause notice dated 17.7.1971 (Annexure C) as well as in the impugned order for reducing the pension (Annexure A) as to under what set of rules, namely, whether under the Juna gadh Rules or the Saurashtra Rules or the Bombay Rules they were exercising the power for reducing the pension and gratuity.
