Mumbai, July 25: The Bombay High Court has dismissed the plea by Abdur Rahman (IPS: 1997: MH), who was seeking voluntary retirement from service. Rahman, who had announced quitting from the service in 2019 over the Citizenship Amendment Act, is facing three disciplinary actions.
The HC upheld the order passed by the Mumbai Bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), which had dismissed his plea earlier. Rahman had moved an application in March 2018 before the State Government and sought voluntary retirement from service.
This was rejected by the Central Government in June 2018 as he was not found clear from a vigilance angle and disciplinary proceedings were pending or contemplated against him.
Rahman said that he had been exonerated from the departmental proceedings in 2019, and it was after this order that he approached the state for voluntary retirement again.
The state then forwarded Rahman's request to the Centre, also mentioning that three disciplinary proceedings were contemplated against him.
