Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant had applied for voluntary retirement on the condition that he would be paid compensation equivalent to salary for a period of 106 days for each completed year of service, but the respondents did not make any payment. The respondents did not pay this amount and therefore, his request for voluntary retirement ought not to have been accepted.
