Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra and others ...Respondents CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.K.Sikri, Chief Justice Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rakesh Kumar Jain Present: Mr. Rajesh Bansal, Advocate, for the appellant. Mr. M.S.Sindhu, Advocate, for respondent No.1. Mr. Anil Rathi, Addl. A.G., Haryana. ***** A.K.Sikri, CJ. (Oral) The appellant herein was denied pension as he had rendered less than 20 years of qualifying service as per Rule 5 of the Pension Rules, 1999 while serving in respondent No.3 College. It is a matter of record that he had sought voluntary retirement from respondent No.3 College as he got appointment with respondent No.1, namely, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra. Since the appellant has not rendered 20 years of qualifying service in the respondent No.3 College, he cannot be given pension by the said College. However, it would always be open to the appellant to seek counting of the service rendered in respondent No.3 College along with the LPA No.1134 of 2011 (O&M) -[ 2 ] ****** service rendered by him with Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra for the computation of pension from Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra. Giving this liberty, we dispose of this appeal. If he makes such a request to the Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, the same shall be considered as per law and a decision shall be taken within two months thereafter.
