Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.S.LAKSHMA REDDY Counsel for the Respondent No.: MR.T.BALAJI The Court made the following : VE & PSR, JJ W.P.No. 1490 of 2000 O r d e r: (Per P. Swaroop Reddy, J.) The petitioner voluntarily retired from service pursuant to his application dated:3.5.1994, vide proceedings dated:21.9.1994. Subsequently he was advised to come to office to enable the respondents to process his pension and gratuity papers to CDA (Pension) Allahabad. 2. It is stated that the petitioner in his voluntary retirement application signed as "Ch. Bixam". But he changed his name as "Ch. Bhupal Goud", and under his signature it has been typed as Ch. Bhupal Goud, Photographer Grade-II, Instrumentation DRDL, Hyderabad. The pension papers were returned on the ground that he has not signed the pension papers as "Ch.Bixam: but signed as "Ch. Bhupal Goud and the change of name was not entered in the service record and therefore, unless he submits the pension papers by signing as "Ch. Bixam" his pension papers will not be processed. 3. We are of the opinion that, the OA., filed by the petitioner before the Central Administrative Tribunal, to direct the respondents not to insist him to sign as "Ch. Bixam" and to process the pension papers with his changed name as "Ch. Bhupal Goud", was rightly rejected on the ground that his changed name was not entered in the service records and in fact the petitioner has taken voluntary retirement by signing his name as "Ch. Bixam". 4. We do not see any infirmity or illegality in the order impugned. The writ petition is liable to be dismissed and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. However, it is directed that if the petitioner submits his pension papers by signing as "Ch. Bixam) the same may be processed without any delay and the pension benefits may be paid to him accordingly. ________________ V. ESWARAIAH, J. Dated:21.7.2009 *BVS _____________________ P.
