STATE OF U.P. vs LALSA RAM

The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's decision to quash the order of compulsory retirement of the petitioner under Rule 56(c) of the U.P. Fundamental Rules. The Court found that the Screening Committee's reliance on adverse entries from as far back as 1967-68 was unjustified, particularly since there were no adverse entries in the last five years of service. The Court emphasized that the action taken was without a proper basis and thus not sustainable, affirming the High Court's ruling.
