Singhal and Tek Chand v. Dile Ram, which deal with deemed acceptance of voluntary retirement applications upon expiry of the prescribed period. The State, however, argued that the petitioner's entitlement had to be examined under the WBSR, which specifically excludes members of the West Bengal Medical Education Services from the facility of voluntary retirement. The High Court noted that Rule 75(aaaa), inserted into the WBSR by an amendment dated February 7, 2014, provides that the provisions governing voluntary retirement under Rule 75(aa) and 75(aaa) are not admissible to holders of the West Bengal Health Services, West Bengal Medical Education Services, West Bengal Public Health-cum-Administrative Services, West Bengal Dental Services and West Bengal Dental Education Services. Since there was no dispute that the petitioner was a member of the West Bengal Medical Education Service, the Bench found no infirmity in the decision of the Director of Medical Education rejecting his request for voluntary retirement.
