No.33260 of 2009 (B) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 3rd day of December, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner joined as a Constable in the CRPF on 27/11/1970 in the Group Centre, Pune, Maharashtra. On 30/04/1984, he resigned from service. He represented for pension, that was declined by Ext.P2 holding that he is ineligible for the said benefit. Further representations, evidenced by Exts.P3 to P5, were made, and that were also not favourably considered. It is in these circumstances, this writ petition is filed. 2. Admittedly, the petitioner had resigned from the employment in CRPF. If so, he is not eligible for the benefit claimed. This position is covered against the petitioner in view of the law laid down by the Apex Court in Union of India & Others v. Rakesh Kumar (2001(4) SCC 309). In that view of the matter, I do not find any merit in the writ petition, and the same is accordingly dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
