KURIAN JOSEPH, V.K.AHUJA

body2011
JUDGMENT Kurian Joseph, J. Heard. The delay in filing the review petition is condoned. The application is disposed of. C.Review No. 14 of 2011. The review petitioner is the writ petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner still is that the period previous to his joining the Central Government service has not been permitted to be counted for the purpose of pension as qualifying service. It is not in dispute that the petitioner originally joined the Education Department. The petitioner had resigned from the post in order to join the Central Government service. Thereafter, he came back to the State Government service. In the judgment, this Court made clear that the service rendered by the petitioner in the Central Government will be counted for the purpose of increments and pension. However, the further grievance of the petitioner is that the service rendered prior to entering the Central Government service will also be counted. Even if it is otherwise legally permissible, it is for the petitioner to represent that aspect of the matter before the first respondent, in which case that contention will also be considered while disposing of the representation, as directed in the judgment. The review petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any.
