Fresh memoranda issued after retirement, and beyond the four-year period, could not be treated as a mere continuation of earlier quashed proceedings; they amounted to fresh initiation and were time-barred. The Court further held that statutory sanction under Rule 9 cannot override the rule's limitation requirement, and procedural compliance must be in the manner prescribed by law. The sanction therefore did not cure the defect, and the impugned continuation of proceedings was unsustainable. en-us Fri, 26 Aug 2016 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 07 Jan 2025 19:56:48 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=459987 SC analysed Rule 9(2)(b) of the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972 and held that post-retirement departmental proceedings require the President's sanction and must relate to events within four years of initiation.
