DATED; DATED; DATED; 28TH FEBRUARY 2005. 28TH FEBRUARY 2005. 28TH FEBRUARY 2005. P.C.; P.C.; P.C.; 1. By this petition, the petitioner seeks a direction to pay pension under Rule 19 of the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Condition of Services) Regulation Rules 1981, which provide for grant of pension by prescribing cut of date holding that the persons who retired after the date are entitled to pension. 2. This entitlement of pension consequently refers to Mahrashtra Civil Services (Pension) Rules 1982. In those rules it is provided that a person shall be entitled to pension, if he has completed qualifying service of minimum ten years. The contention of the petitioner is that the petitioner is entitled to the pension as the qualifying service cannot be restricted to service in the aided school but the entire service rendered in unaided school is also to be calculated. There is nothing either in the Rule of 1981 or Pension rules to support such interpretation. Hence petition is dismissed. *****
