Madhukar vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Maharashtra Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1982, specifically Rule 48(3), allows for the counting of prior government service for pension computation, despite the appellant's resignation not being tendered with prior permission. The Court found that the Government Resolution dated 11.03.1992 supports the appellant's claim for pension refixation based on his earlier service. The Court overturned the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition and directed that the appellant's past service be counted for pension purposes.
