A.P. Shah. J. 1. Is petitioner entitled to receive the benefit of Government resolution dated April 28, 1961 providing for computation of temporary and officiating service for pension? Is the date of retirement a relevant consideration for eligibility for receiving the benefit of the said resolution?
