IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.3982 of 2009 Rama Nand Vs. State of Haryana & others Present: Mr.S.K.Yadav, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Harish Rathee, Sr.DAG, Haryana, for the State. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner has served in the Army from 1966 to 1992. Thereafter he was discharged and is earning pension from the Army service. Subsequently, he joined the civil post in the year 1997. The petitioner prays that his Army service be counted towards the civil service for the grant of pension in terms of the Punjab National (Concession) Rules, 1965. In my view, these rules would not help the cause of the petitioner as he is earning pension from the Army service. These rules only apply to those persons, who had served the Army and released therefrom on payment of gratuity. In such cases, the service rendered during the emergency can be counted for the purpose of pension if the person agrees to deposit the gratuity. An individual cannot earn two pensions for the same service. No case for interference, thus, is made out. Dismissed. July 26, 2010 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
