    CASE SUMMARY: WP/3378/2025 The Nagpur Bench of Bombay High Court rejected the petition filed by three government employees (Saurabh Agarwal, Sadhana Lilhare, and Chitra Thengari) seeking pension benefits under the Maharashtra Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1982. The petitioners, appointed on compassionate grounds to the Gondia Zilla Parishad Health Department on 15.04.2006, claimed eligibility for old pension scheme benefits because their document verification occurred before the 01.11.2005 cutoff date. The court upheld the respondents' rejection order dated 16.05.2025, finding the petition meritless, grossly delayed (filed nearly 19 years after appointment), and noting the petitioners had accepted the appointment terms without objection. The court clarified that the critical date for pension eligibility is the appointment date, not document verification, and Government Resolution dated 01.10.2024 explicitly excludes compassionate appointees selected before but appointed after 01.11.2005. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
