Union Of India & Ors vs Rakesh Kumar

The Supreme Court ruled that members of the Border Security Force (BSF) who resign after serving between ten to twenty years are entitled to pensionary benefits under the Border Security Force Act, 1968 and the Border Security Force Rules, 1969. The Court emphasized that the Government of India's G.O. dated 27th December 1995 clarifies the admissibility of such benefits upon resignation. The High Court's orders directing the release of pensionary benefits were upheld, confirming the entitlement of the respondents to receive their dues from the date of resignation.
