It is not quite clear from your question as to whether your resignation was accepted or you were removed from service as a penalty after departmental enquiry for default of long absence from duty. You should try to check it from your department.
If it was resignation, then there is no chance since you submitted the resignation in 2008. Generally, you cannot withdraw the resignation after 3 months. But, in your case, already 10 years have lapsed.
If it is a removal from service as a penalty after departmental enquiry, you may have to check from the department about the date of the order of removal from service. If the order was issued in 2008, then it would be too late now to challenge it; though you can still try to challenge it along with an application for condonation of delay, but the chances of success after such long delay are very less. But, if the order of removal was issued recently, say in last one year, then you should be in a position to challenge it.
