The Supreme Court upheld the order of compulsory retirement of the appellant under Paragraph 6 of the Government of India Decision No. 23, which allows for retirement of a government servant upon reaching 55 years of age with three months' notice. The Court clarified that the absence of a recital stating the retirement was 'in public interest' does not invalidate the order, provided the power was exercised bona fide. The Court emphasized that it would not review the correctness of the order, affirming the decision of the Judicial Commissioner for Manipur.
