DR. D.C. SAXENA vs STATE OF HARYANA & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's appeal regarding the curtailment of his tenure as Chairman, stating that Section 4A of the relevant Act provides the government with the authority to terminate such positions at any time. The Court clarified that the term 'terms of service' includes tenure, and since the appellant did not challenge the validity of Section 4A, the High Court's judgment was affirmed. The Court found no mala fides or punitive intent in the government's decision, which was based on a general policy to dispense with non-officials.
