2015 (2) TMI 1197 - SC - Indian LawsEntitlement to pension - request for voluntary retirement - Held that:- In the case at hand, it is clear as day that the Rule carves out two categories of retirement, one, normal retirement on superannuation and second, retirement on request i.e. voluntary retirement, ordinarily called the golden handshake and, therefore, the scheme was floated. In the instant case, as I perceive, the Scheme which is more beneficial was provided. It had the pension and the ex-gratia. However, it had a condition as enumerated in the Rule that if an employee had not completed 20 years of service, as per Rule 22(i)(c), he would not get pension. As there is no provision for computation of broken period and, therefore, unless an employee has completed 20 years of service, he would not be entitled to pension.
