Per : Hon’ble Shri Jayesh V Bhairavia, Member (Judicial)

1.The grievance of the applicant in the instant OA is that despite having rendered continuous service from 12.08.1986, initially on an ad hoc basis and later regularized without interruption from 01.11.1989, the respondents, the respondents have arbitrarily excluded the ad hoc period from 12.08.1986 to 31.10.1989 from qualifying service for pension. This exclusion has been made at the stage of retirement, contrary to earlier official certification recognizing the entire period as qualifying service, and without properly considering the applicant’s representation, thereby resulting in denial of full pensionary benefits. Thus, the applicant has approached this Tribunal under Section 19 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985 and seeks the following reliefs:

“(A) The Hon’ble Tribunal be pleased to allow / admit this application.

(B) That the Hon’ble Tribunal further be pleased to hold/ declare that impugned ex-facie, illegal, arbitrary, unjust and unconstitutional action on the part of the respondents regarding not counting service of the applicant from 12.08.1986 to 31.03.2021 as qualifying service for pensionary benefi
