ASGER IBRAHIM AMIN vs LIFE INSURANCE CORP. OF INDIA

The Supreme Court examined the entitlement of the Appellant to claim pension after voluntarily resigning from the Life Insurance Corporation of India, referencing the Life Insurance Corporation Act, 1956 and the LIC (Employees) Pension Rules, 1995. The Court held that resignation leads to forfeiture of pension benefits, and the Appellant's claim was barred by delay and laches, as established in Union of India v. Tarsem Singh (2008) 8 SCC 648. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision on the grounds of ineligibility and delay.
