Consequence of resignation

A member of Service shall, if he resigns from his appointment, forfeit the service rendered by him on the particular post held by him at the time of resignation and also all his previous service under the Government. The re-appointment of such person to any Service shall be treated in the same way as a first appointment to such Service by direct recruitment and all the provisions governing such appointment shall apply and on such re-appointment, he shall not be entitled to count any portion of his previous service for any benefit or concession admissible under this Act: Provided that a member of Service, who after resignation has contested the general election to Parliament or State Legislature or in the elections to local bodies either as a party candidate or as an independent candidate, shall not be eligible for re-appointment to any service.
