IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16471 of 2007 RAM CHANDRA LAL Versus THE UNION OF INDIA & ORS ----------- 2 12.5.2008 This application has been filed for quashing the order dated 6.4.2005 passed by the Patna Bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal (hereinafter referred to as “the tribunal”) in O.A.No.176 of 2000, whereby the application filed by the petitioner has been dismissed. Mr. Bhubneshwar Prasad appears on behalf of the petitioner and the Union of India is represented by Mr. Siddhartha Prasad. Short facts giving rise to the present application are that the petitioner at the relevant time was working as Leave Reserve Station Master. He filed an application seeking voluntary retirement on 23.5.1999. The said prayer has been accepted by order dated 21.6.1999 with effect from 1.9.1999. The petitioner challenged the acceptance of the voluntary retirement before the tribunal , inter alia, contending that he had withdrawn his request for voluntary retirement by letter dated 9.6.1999, that is, prior to its acceptance by order dated 21.6.1999 and as such the same ought not to have been accepted. Respondents contended before the tribunal that the petitioner had received all his retrial dues on account of acceptance of the voluntary retirement and his assertion that he had filed the application withdrawing the request of voluntary retirement by letter 2 dated 9.6.1999 is absolutely false. The tribunal on appraisal of the material accepted the plea of the respondents and dismissed the application. We do not find any error in the same. The present application stands accordingly dismissed. (Chandramauli Kr. Prasad, ACJ.) Neyaz/ (Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
