Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition challenging the acceptance of the appellant's voluntary retirement under the Punjab Police Rules. The Court noted that the appellant's claim of withdrawing the retirement offer was not substantiated, and the acceptance was valid as per the procedural requirements. The Court emphasized that once the offer for voluntary retirement is accepted, it cannot be retracted unilaterally, thus affirming the decision of the lower court.
