The Court held that the available record did not justify the view that the officer had outlived utility, and that a bona fide judicial order could not, by itself, support premature retirement. It further held that adverse entries recorded belatedly and in bulk after the retirement process had already begun, without prompt consideration of the representation, could not validly form the basis of the decision. Once those entries were excluded, the order was arbitrary and unsustainable. en-us Fri, 12 Feb 1999 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 01 May 2020 17:40:53 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=287769 Compulsory retirement of a judicial officer was struck down because the power had to rest on relevant material and a bona fide assessment of the full service record.
