STATE OF HARYANA vs RAM NIWAS .

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals, affirming the High Court's order which allowed the respondent to opt for voluntary retirement as per the precedent set in State of Punjab and Ors. Vs. Inder Singh and Ors. 1997 (8) SCC 372. The Court held that if the respondent does not opt for retirement within thirty days, he would revert to his parent cadre as Head Constable but retain his promoted post of Sub Inspector, subject to future promotions based on seniority and requisite qualifications. The decision reinforces the application of established legal principles regarding voluntary retirement and promotion procedures in service law.
