Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
HC upheld compulsory retirement under Rule 16(3) of All India Services (Death-cum-Retirement Benefits) Rules, 1958. The court affirmed government's absolute right to retire an officer in public interest, particularly when integrity is questionable. A second review is permissible under exceptional circumstances involving new material evidence. The order was justified based on allegations of financial misappropriation, disproportionate assets, and potential service misconduct. The court emphasized that such administrative actions are preventive measures to maintain service efficiency and integrity, not punitive in nature. Judicial review is limited to examining mala fides, arbitrariness, or lack of material consideration. Petition allowed, reinstating the compulsory retirement order.
