    Case Summary: WA/363/2026 The Chhattisgarh High Court Division Bench dismissed FCI's appeal, upholding the Single Judge's decision to quash the compulsory retirement order of Kamal Kishor Shondilya. The court found that FCI violated the mandatory age requirement—the employee had not yet attained 50 years on the order issuance date (01.05.2023), though he would turn 50 by the effective retirement date. Additionally, the court held that the retirement decision lacked proper material support, as the employee maintained consistently good performance records and multiple inquiries had exonerated him, contradicting the "deadwood" rationale. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
