Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the order of compulsory retirement of the respondent, Rajendra Kumar Dubey, from the Railway Protection Force. The court found that the disciplinary proceedings against him were not conducted in accordance with the principles of natural justice, leading to the conclusion that the order of retirement was unjustified. Consequently, the court ordered his reinstatement with back wages and all consequential benefits.
