FOOD CORPN. OF INDIA vs RAMESH KUMAR

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether an employee of the Food Corporation of India could withdraw an application for voluntary retirement after it had been submitted, in light of Clause VIII(d) of the retirement scheme. The Court held that once the application for voluntary retirement is submitted, it is treated as final and cannot be revoked, thus affirming the acceptance of the retirement application despite the withdrawal attempt. The appeal by the Food Corporation was allowed, reinforcing the binding nature of the voluntary retirement scheme's terms.
