Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors. vs Registrar, Central Administrative ... on 7 August, 2001
Though the fact that the
service of GDS was not pensionable was one of the factors considered by
this Court in the case of Union of India &Ors. Vs Registrar &Anr. (supra),
that was not the main reason as to why the plea of the GDS was turned
down by this Court. We have reproduced above the relevant passages from
the said judgment containing the reasoning for allowing the appeal. For
adjudication of this set of appeals, thus the proceeding in which the Rule
making service of GDS non-pensionable has been struck down is not of
much relevance. The controversy which we are dealing with in this
judgment is whether the period of service rendered by a regular staff of the
postal department while he was serving as GDS would be computed for the
purpose of determining his qualifying service to entitle him to get pension.
