๐ Paras 3-7
The appellant, a former employee of the respondent-Bank, left service in 1989 and sought to rejoin in 2004. The Bank declared him voluntarily retired in 2008. The appellant's initial writ petition was directed to the Labour Court. His subsequent claim for pension benefits before the Labour Court was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, as it involved disputed facts regarding pre-existing rights under pension rules. This dismissal was upheld by the High Court's Single Judge and subsequently by a Division Bench.
