The Review Committee was entitled to assess the officer's entire service record holistically, and was not confined to favourable ACRs; complaints, departmental history, and pending criminal investigations could be considered. Compulsory retirement was upheld because it is not punitive and does not require completed disciplinary or criminal findings; judicial review is limited to mala fides, arbitrariness, or absence of material. The Tribunal was held to have applied the wrong standard. en-us Thu, 17 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 22 Apr 2025 08:31:21 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=769192 Under Rule 16(3) of the All India Services (Death-cum-Retirement Benefits) Rules, 1958, a second review was permissible where later events, including a CBI arrest and a fresh criminal case, provided new material beyond the earlier review.
