R. PARANGUSAM vs CHIEF ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR

The Supreme Court set aside the Tribunal's order that directed a fresh enquiry into the appellant's compulsory retirement, holding that since the appellant had already retired and no detriment was caused to the State, a fresh enquiry was unnecessary. The Court directed the Government to consider the appellant for promotion alongside juniors who were promoted during the enquiry, and to redetermine his notional pay scale and pension accordingly. The Court mandated that these actions be completed within six weeks, thereby allowing the appeals with no costs.
