It is pertinent to note that the respondent had voluntarily retired in the year 2010.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court observed that it is trite law that once an officer retires voluntarily, there is cessation of jural relationship resorting to a \u201cgolden handshake\u201d between the employer and employee. Such a former employee cannot seek to agitate his past, as well as future rights, if any, sans the prescription of rules. This would include the enhanced pay scale.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hence, in the facts of the case, it was held that the Respondent was rightly not considered in the Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) in 2012 since he was no longer in service at the relevant point of time. Hence, the High Court committed an error in relying upon a circular, which has got no application at all, particularly in the light of our finding that we are dealing with a case of promotion simpliciter as against upgradation of any nature.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Union of India v.
