https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313042 Compulsory retirement under service rules is a non-punitive measure ordered in public interest, so judicial review is confined to mala fides, perversity, arbitrariness, or absence of material. The competent authority must consider the whole service record, with greater weight to later service, and may rely on adverse material even where some entries were not communicated. Prior promotion does not automatically wipe out adverse entries for assessing continued utility in service.
