JUDGMENT : 1. The petitioner was working in Central Reserve Police Force as Cook from 24.04.1991. He sought for voluntary retirement through his letter dated 14.02.2013. His request for voluntary retirement was accepted on 01.04.2013. He was also relieved from his duties thereafter. 2. The petitioner has made a representation/application dated 10.08.2013 for withdrawal of voluntary retirement. 3. It is to be noted that in such circumstances, the petitioner cannot seek, as a matter of right, to withdraw the application for voluntary retirement. However, it is stated by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the respondents have power to relax the rule and permit the employee to withdraw the application for Voluntary Retirement from Service even after it is accepted and the employee was relieved from service. 4. The sixth respondent under whom the petitioner lastly worked as a cook made recommendations dated 14.08.2013 to the fourth respondent to consider favourably the petitioner's application regarding withdrawal of Voluntary Retirement Notice by relaxing the rule. The relevant portion of the said letter is extracted hereunder: “4......... However, the undersigned feels that the applicant is in real need of service to finance schooling of his children and also to meet other day to day needs for which he may not have sufficient money after his V/R. Since the power to relax the above rules lies with Ministry of concerned Department under the provision contained in Rule 88 of CCS (Pension) Rules 1972, hence may I request you to kindly take up his case on humanitarian ground through proper channel with Ministry of Home Affairs for according necessary relaxation the rules for withdrawal of voluntary retirement of above individual as one time measure. The application of the individual is also enclosed herewith.” 5. In these circumstances, the petitioner has filed this Writ Petition seeking for a direction to dispose of his representation dated 10.08.2013, for which recommendation was made by the sixth respondent to the second and fourth respondents. 6. In view of the narrow prayer made, the second respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders on the recommendations of the sixth respondent as mentioned in his letter dated 14.08.2013 and 31.03.2014, within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. In view of the narrow prayer made, the second respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders on the recommendations of the sixth respondent as mentioned in his letter dated 14.08.2013 and 31.03.2014, within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If the second respondent thinks fit that recommendation should be made to the first respondent for passing suitable orders, such recommendations shall be given by the second respondent and in turn, the first respondent shall pass necessary orders thereon within a period of six weeks thereafter. If the first or second respondent, in case, refuses to accept the recommendations made, final orders could be passed on the application of the petitioner dated 10.08.2013 within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of recommendations on this issue. 7. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs.
