The Supreme Court ruled that members of the Border Security Force (BSF) who resign after serving for ten or more years but less than twenty years are entitled to pensionary benefits under the Border Security Force Act, 1968 and the Border Security Force Rules, 1969. The Court upheld the High Court's decision directing the competent authority to quantify the pensionary benefits from the date of resignation, emphasizing that the provisions of the BSF Act and Rules apply to such cases. The appeals challenging the High Court's orders were dismissed, affirming the entitlement to pension for the respondents.
