Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the retirement of the appellants from the Rajasthan Higher Judicial Service under the Rajasthan Service Rules, 1951, affirming the findings of a Committee that deemed them unfit for extension of service up to the age of 60 years. The Court emphasized the importance of the Committee's thorough examination of the officers' service records and integrity, referencing the precedent set in All India Judges' Association vs. Union of India (1993) 4 SCC 288. The appeals were dismissed, confirming the High Court's decision.
