Narayan Singh Solanki vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal on the grounds of laches, holding that the Appellant, who resigned in 1963 and accepted his Provident Fund, could not demand a change in pension option nearly 28 years later in 1992. The Court found that the delay in raising the demand was unreasonable and thus not deserving of consideration. The ruling emphasized the importance of timely action in service matters under Rule 102 of the relevant service rules.
