JUDGMENT (Per : M. W. Chandwani, J.)
Heard.
2. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. Since, the
common issue is involved in this batch of petitions, the petitions
are heard together finally with the consent of the learned counsel
for the parties and are decided by this common order.
3. Whether the petitioners in this batch of petitions are
governed by Old Pension Scheme or by the new Defined
Contributory Pension Scheme (hereinafter referred to as ‘DCPS’)
under the Maharashtra Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1982
(hereinafter referred to ‘Pension Rules’) is the short question arose
for consideration.
4. The petitioners in Writ Petition No.3712 of 2022 had
applied for the post of Gram Sevak pursuant to advertisement
dated 02/08/2005 and accordingly, they were selected. The select
list came to be published in the month of September, 2005, but
the appointment orders were given to the petitioners after
01/11/2005. The petitioners in Writ Petition No.3715 of 2022,
KHUNTE

926-WP3712.22+2-J.odt
34/38
pursuant to advertisement dated 13/04/2005, were selected as
Shikshan Sevak. They were appointed by the appointment orders
dated 30/11/2005, i.e. after 01/11/2005. Whereas the petitioners
in Writ Petition No.3729 of 2018 had applied for the post of
Shikshan Sevak pursuant to advertisement dated 18/08/2005 for
filling up the post of Shikshan Sevak in Marathi Medium. But they
were appointed after 01/11/2005.
Needless to mention here that the State of Maharashtra
vide Government Resolution (GR) dated 31/10/2005 took a
policy decision to adopt the provisions of DCPS to be made
applicable to all government servants recruited on or after
01/11/2005 in the State Government services. On account of
issuance of the said GR dated 31/10/2005, the Old Pension
Scheme do not apply to the government servants recruited on or
after 01/11/2005. Since, the petitioners in this batch of petitions
are appointed after 01/11/2005, the petitioners are being
governed by the new DCPS. The petitioners claim that since their
recruitment process is started prior to 01/11/2005, they are
entitled to be governed by the Old Pension Scheme.

5. It is submitted on behalf of the learned counsel for the
petitioners that though the petitioners are appointed after the cut-
off date i.e. 01/11/2005 to their respective posts, but the fact
remains that the recruitment process was started prior to
01/11/2005. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted
that in Writ Petition No.3712 of 2022, the advertisement was
published on 02/08/2005; in Writ Petition No.3715 of 2022, the
advertisement was published on 13/04/2005; and whereas in Writ
Petition No.3729 of 2018, the advertisement was published on
18/08/2005.
6. As per Pension Rules and GR dated 31/10/2005 the
government employee, who are recruited on or after 01/11/2005,
they would be governed by new DCPS. Now the question remains
that the petitioners, who are appointed after the cut-off date
01/11/2005, pursuant to the recruitment started by publishing
advertisements prior to the cut-off date 01/11/2005 would be
governed by the Old Pension Scheme, which were applicable to
the other employees.

7. The issue is not res integra. The Principal Bench of this
Court in the case of Khilari Rajendra Eknath and others v. The
State of Maharashtra and others in Writ Petition No.2270 of
2021 has already dealt with this issue and it will be advantageous
to reproduce paragraphs 27 and 28 of the said judgment, which
read thus -
“27. Sub-Rule (2) of Rule 2 of the M.C.S.

(Pension) Rules, 1982 states that these rules would
not apply to the Government Servants who are
recruited on or after 01.11.2005. Rules 1982 are the
beneficial piece of legislation governing the post
retiral benefits to a government employee. It has been
held time and again that pension is not a bounty.
Rules 1982 are not made applicable to the
government servants who are recruited on or after
01.11.2005. Though the amendment to the Rules
1982 by the State Government are based upon the
amendment carried out in the Central Civil Services
(Pension) Rules, 1972 there is a subtle difference
between the two. The Central Civil Services
(Pension) Rules, 1972 apply to the Government
Servants appointed on or before 31.12.2003 meaning
thereby that it would not apply to the government
servants appointed on or after 1 st day of January,
2004. Whereas under the said M.C.S. (Pension)
Rules, 1982, the wordings are ‘the Rules shall not
apply to government servants who are recruited on or
after 01.11.2005’. The phraseology “Recruitment”
and “Appointment” are not synonymous. There is a
marked distinction between “Recruitment” and
“Appointment”. Recruitment is a stage prior to
appointment. Recruitment is the process which
entails selection of candidates. Selection is a process
KHUNTE

926-WP3712.22+2-J.odt
37/38
of picking the candidates from the short listed

candidates. An appointment means an actual act of
posting a person to a particular office.
28. The Apex Court in the case of Shivaji

Nagnath Lokare and others (Supra) has observed that
the appointment cannot be read to include the word
‘selection, recruitment or recruitment process’. The
Apex Court in case of Prafulla Kumar Swain Etc. vs.
Prakash Chandra Misra and Ors. observed that
recruitment cannot tantamount to appointment.”
8. Thus, as per Pension Rules, Old Pension Scheme would
not apply to the persons whose recruitment process had
commenced after 01/11/2005, meaning thereby the Old Pension
Scheme shall apply to the persons, who are recruited in the
government services prior to 01/11/2005. Appointment does not
mean recruitment. Recruitment entails selection process. In the
present petitions though the appointments were made after
01/11/2005, the selection process started prior to 01/11/2005 by
publishing the advertisement. Admittedly, the advertisements in
this batch of petitions were issued prior to 01/11/2005, however,
the appointment orders of the petitioners were issued after cut-off
date i.e. 01/11/2005 on which date DCPS is made applicable to
all government servant as per GR dated 31/10/2005 and Pension
Rules. Therefore, the petitioners shall be entitled to be governed

KHUNTE

926-WP3712.22+2-J.odt
38/38
by the Old Pension Scheme and General Provident Fund Scheme
which were in vogue prior to 01/11/2005. Resultantly, the
petitions succeeded.
9. It is hereby declared that the petitioners in all the Writ
Petitions shall be governed by the provisions of Old Pension
Scheme and, General Provident Fund Scheme, which were in
vogue prior to 01/11/2005. The petitioners shall not be governed
by the provisions of new DCPS introduced by the GR dated
31/10/2005.
10. The petitioners’ contribution to DCPS be credited in
their GPF Accounts. The modality adopted by the Government of
India while switching over the petitioners from DCPS to Old
Pension Rules shall also be adopted by the respondents.
11. Rule is made absolute in the aforesaid terms. No order as
to costs.
