Supreme Court Upholds Non-Punitive Compulsory Retirement of Chhattisgarh Employees
The Supreme Court upheld the Chhattisgarh government's compulsory retirement of five employees, ruling that such orders are non-punitive and do not imply misconduct. The court emphasized that compulsory retirement is based on the competent authority's objective assessment that an employee's continuation is not in the public interest. It rejected claims that similar employees not retired invalidate the order, stating each case is individually evaluated on relevant service records and administrative efficiency.
