ORAL JUDGMENT (Per S.V.Gangapurwala, J.): 1 By the present petition, the petitioner claims that the services rendered by him as part time employee from the year 1962 to 1983 should be counted while computing his pension. 2 It is not disputed that the petitioner was rendering part time services from 1962 to 1983. Respondent No.2 has filed affidavit-in-reply and clarified the position. As per Rule 57 of the Maharashtra Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1982, the minimum qualifying service is required to be completed and if the petitioner has not rendered service as a full time employee, then that period would not be computed. The petitioner has worked as full time employee from 2 nd July 1983 till 31 st August, 1996. As such, he has rendered service as full time class IV employee for about 13 years and the pension has been computed taking into account the said service. 3 In the light of above, petition is devoid of any merit. As such, writ petition stands dismissed. Rule discharged, however, with no order as to costs. (S.V.GANGAPURWALA) (B.R.GAVAI) JUDGE JUDGE ******* adb/wp144698
