MAHENDRA PRASAD SINGH @ MAHENDRA SINGH vs STATE OF BIHAR .

The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Rule 46 of the Bihar Pension Rules, 1950, which stipulates that an employee is entitled to pension unless dismissed or removed for misconduct. The Court held that the appellant's discharge from service did not constitute a dismissal or removal, thus entitling him to pension benefits. The appeal was allowed, overturning the previous orders that denied the appellant his pension.
