U O I vs D.P. PATIL — C.A. No. 11380/1996

The Supreme Court dismissed D.P. Patil's application to recall its August 1996 order that set aside a Tribunal's decision granting him pension benefits. The Court found that Patil had multiple opportunities (January 1973, July 1974, June 1975) while in service to opt for the pension scheme but deliberately chose the gratuity option instead, only claiming ignorance of extended deadlines after others received pension benefits in 1991.
