    The High Court of Punjab and Haryana allowed the writ petition filed by police constables who were dismissed in 1985 for dereliction of duty but had their punishment modified to compulsory retirement by the Supreme Court in 2007. The court held that the Punjab Civil Services (Premature Retirement) Rules, 1975—which require 20 years of service for retirement benefits—do not apply to employees compulsorily retired as punishment, and quashed the state's rejection of their pension claims. The court directed reconsideration of their retiral benefits eligibility within two months. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
