Mr. Deepak Choudhary for the respondents. The petitioner, a retired employee of the Directorate of Agriculture Marketing, by this petition for writ is claiming for determination of his pension by taking into consideration 24.06.1968 as the date of his initial appointment, the same has been denied to him in view of the provisions of Rule 10 of the Rajasthan State Agriculture Market Board Service (Pension) Rules, 1995. This Court in the case of Adhik Lal Chaudhary vs. State of Rajasthan and others (SBCWP No.3552/2001, decided on July 06, 2004) held that Rule 10.2 of the Rules of 1995 was framed ignoring the provisions contained in Rule 179 of the Rajasthan Service Rules, 1951, that provides for grant of pension even to temporary employees, and thus the sub-Rule (2) of Rules of 1995 was declared ultra virus to Article 14 of the Constitution of India. On basis of judgment above, in the case of Rajendra Nath Sharma vs. State of Rajasthan and others (SBCWP No.1288/2003) and Ram Pratap vs. State of Rajasthan and others (SBCWP No.1719/2001), this Court directed the Government of Rajasthan to determine pension and all other 2 pensionary benefits of the employees of the Directorate of Agriculture Marketing from the date of their initial appointment. The judgment passed by this Court in Rajendra Nath Sharma and Ram Pratap referred above stood affirmed by a Division Bench by rejecting the appeals preferred by the State Government. In the instant matter, the petitioner was employed on 24.06.1968, but the respondents are providing pension and other post retiral benefits to the petitioner as per provisions of sub-Rule (2) of Rule 10 of the Rules of 1995, i.e. apparently illegal in view of the judgment of this Court in Adhik Lal Chaudhary (supra) and other matters, references of those are given above. Accordingly, this petition for writ stands allowed. The respondents are directed to determine pension and all other post retiral benefits to the petitioner in light of the directions given by this Court in the case of Adhik Lal Chaudhary. Necessary modifications is also required to be made in the Pension Payment Order issued by the respondents. The petitioner is also declared for all arrears accruing as a consequent to revision of his pension in view of the directions above.
