GENERAL CLAUSES ACT, 1897, CASES

Section 21

In the instant Cast the Respondent is not the learned Counsel for the Respondent upon referring to the provision of Section 21 of the General Clauses Act. 1897 tried to develop an argument that it was much within the competency of the Respondent to recall or rescind the resignation and that having had done so prior to the acceptance and communication of the acceptance of the resignation, the action of the Biman authority was incompetent one. The Respondent is not authorized by law to avail of the provision of Section 21 of the General Clauses Act in withdrawing of canceling the letter or resignation, which was of immediate effect.
