PARBODH SAGAR vs PUNJAB STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD .

The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab & Haryana High Court's decision rejecting the writ petition against premature retirement under the Electricity Board's service rules. The Court found no malafides or uncommunicated adverse reports against the petitioner, emphasizing that the decision was based on the appellant's unsatisfactory performance as reflected in his Annual Confidential Roll. The Court held that the retirement at the age of 50 was justified and did not violate any legal provisions, thus dismissing the appeal.
