Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision to grant extension of service to the appellant under Section 27 of the Air Force Act, 1950, after finding that the denial of extension was arbitrary and lacked proper justification. The Court emphasized that the principles of natural justice must be adhered to in administrative decisions affecting service conditions. Consequently, the Court directed the reconsideration of the appellant's application for extension of service up to the age of 58 years, affirming the High Court's ruling.
