The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner has joined as a Trainee on 20.10.1986 in the Respondents- Corporation and subsequently, he was regularised with effect from 01.12.1990. It is the further submission of the petitioner that he voluntarily 2/6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.17766 of 2025 retired from service on 06.01.2025. While settling the pension, the 2nd respondent has paid pension by taking into consideration of his service from 2000 to 2025 instead of taking his date of initial regularisation of the year 1990.
