IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3489 of 2006 JAI MANGAL KUWAR Versus THE UNION OF INDIA & ORS ----------- 2 30.04.2010 Mr. Hari Shankar Roy, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the Union of India are present. The petitioner was enrolled as Armyman on 12.5.1969 and served the army until 16.6.1983 on seeking voluntary retirement from the services of the Army. The petitioner was discharged from service on his own request on compassionate grounds before completion of 15 years of qualifying service in terms of paragraph 132 of the pension regulation of Army, appended at Annexure-I to the counter affidavit. Although paragraph 134 does vests a power of condonation to make deficiency in service for payment of pension but the said relaxation is not extendable in case of voluntary retirement. As indisputably, the petitioner was discharged from service on his own request hence his case does not come within the purview of paragraph 134 inviting relaxation of deficiency of service. In that view of the matter, there is no merit in the writ petition, it is dismissed. Bibhash ( Jyoti Saran, J.)
