THE STATE OF MYSORE vs C. N. VIJENDRA RAO

The Supreme Court held that Rule 95(b) of the Mysore Civil Services, which mandated that a government servant under suspension for misconduct shall not retire until the inquiry is concluded, was applicable to the respondent, C. N. Vijedra Rao. The Court found that the repeal of this rule did not grant the government the authority to declare the respondent retired upon reaching the age of superannuation. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, confirming that the respondent was entitled to continue in service until the inquiry was completed, thus ruling in favor of the respondent's claim for reinstatement.
