U.P. JAL NIGAM vs SYED KHADIM WARIS

The Supreme Court held that the Allahabad High Court erred in quashing the compulsory retirement of the respondent under Rule 56-C of the Financial Hand Book, as it relied on an adverse entry from 1983-84 that was under representation and not yet decided. The Court emphasized that the subsequent adverse entry from 1984-85, which had not been communicated to the respondent, could also have influenced the decision for compulsory retirement. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the matter for reconsideration based on the complete service record, including the 1984-85 entry.
