Food Corporation Of India & Ors vs Ramesh Kumar

The Supreme Court held that under Clause VIII(d) of the Voluntary Retirement Scheme, once an employee submits an application for voluntary retirement, it is treated as final and cannot be withdrawn. The Court distinguished between different voluntary retirement schemes, noting that the inability to revoke an offer is valid if explicitly stated in the scheme. The appeal by the Food Corporation of India was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to quash the acceptance of the retirement application despite the withdrawal.
