UNION OF INDIA vs MADHU E.V.

The Supreme Court ruled that constables of the Border Security Force (BSF) who resigned after 10 years of service are not entitled to pensionary benefits under the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972, as the minimum qualifying service for pension is 20 years. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that the respondents' resignation under Rule 19 of the BSF Rules did not entitle them to pension benefits, affirming the interpretation of relevant rules. The appeal by the Union of India was dismissed, confirming the lower court's ruling.
