SHIV DAYAL GUPTA vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the order of compulsory retirement of the appellant, an Additional District Judge, based on the findings of a Review Committee consisting of four Senior Judges of the High Court. The Court noted that the appellant had a history of poor performance, integrity issues, and adverse entries in his Annual Confidential Reports (ACRs). The Court found that the decision to retire him was made after thorough consideration of his service record and was in the public interest, thus affirming the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition.
