(1.) Since the issues raised in all the captioned writ-applications are more or less the same, those were heard analogously and are being disposed of by this common judgment and order.
(2.) The writ-applicants before me are all former employees of the respective Nationalized Banks. The issue raised in all the writ- applications is one relating to the claim to receive pension. The case of the writ-applicants is that since they all had put in the minimum qualifying years of service, they are entitled to receive pension, whereas, the case of the respective banks is that the writ-applicants had resigned from service and therefore, are not entitled to receive pension in accordance with the Pension Regulations.
(3.) The learned counsel appearing for the respective writ-applicants have provided the necessary details and information as regards each of the writ-applicants for the convenience of this Court.
