S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.2977/2008. (ASHOK KUMAR VS. STATE & ORS.) DATE OF ORDER : 09.05.2008. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. Haider Agha for the petitioner. By the order dated 15.03.2000, the request of the petitioner for getting retired voluntarily was accepted and he stood retired from service on 30.04.2000. After a lapse of about four years, the petitioner submitted an application seeking withdrawal of the voluntary retirement and on rejection of that this petition for writ is preferred. The contention of the petitioner is that the voluntary retirement was taken being suffering from certain ailments, but those were cured subsequently, thus, he should be reinstated. I do not find any substance in the contention so raised, as the petitioner was voluntary retired in the year 2000 and withdrawal of the same is sought after a lapse of more than four years. The right of the petitioner to withdraw his request for voluntary retirement was only up to the effective date of retirement and not subsequent thereto. The petition for writ is dismissed accordingly. (GOVIND MATHUR)J. Anil/
