HARYANA STATE ELEC. BOARD vs KC GAMBHIR — C.A. No. 2986/1997

The Supreme Court allowed the Haryana State Electricity Board's appeal and reversed the High Court's decision, upholding the respondent's compulsory retirement 9 months before superannuation. The Court found that the Board's retirement order was justified based on an adverse remark in the 1985-86 Confidential Report questioning the employee's integrity, and that the Board appropriately withheld retirement action at ages 50 and 55 pending departmental inquiry resolution.
