SERVICE

if they were partes before the erlier courts/tribunal therefore, the are still necessary parties. qustion  of not filin of there counter in earlier court has no relevancy before apex court . if notices are issued to them, they can file their reply fore the apex court.

My father is an ex-serviceman and has served in indian army for 17 years.

He has got second marriage during his tenure. After the second marriage, he has worked for 4 years. He has been discharged on the administrative ground rule for the second marrige. Is that 4 years of service is invalid for the purpose of pension or can we accumulate the service.

Kindly advice me on this with the light of Pension rules.

You father has served all the four years till he was discharged. Entire period has to count for pension. How this question came to your mind.  Your query shows only half facts.  It is also not clear whether this was compulsory retirement or dismissal or termination.  In case of dismissal/termination entire period will forefeit.  Do not ever expect to get a proper advise by hiding facts.
