Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that Article 235 of the Constitution vests complete control over the subordinate judiciary in the High Court, including both disciplinary and administrative jurisdiction. The Court clarified that premature retirement of a judicial officer is an exercise of this control, which can be based on public interest and the officer's performance. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's decision to quash the State Government's order of retirement at age 55, emphasizing that such decisions must align with the High Court's recommendations.
