RAJASTHAN STATE ROAD TRANP. CORP. vs BABU LAL JANGIR

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the compulsory retirement of the respondent, Babu Lal Jangir, under the Rajasthan State Road Transport Workers and Workshop Employees Standing Orders, 1965. The Court found that the procedure followed by the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation was not in accordance with the mandatory requirements of the Standing Orders, specifically Rule 18-D(1), which necessitates a three-month notice prior to compulsory retirement. Consequently, the respondent was deemed to be in service and entitled to all consequential benefits.
