casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 017016/2011 Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition filed by the Secretary to Health & Family Welfare. The Court upheld the lower courts' decisions granting Dr. N. Paramasivam's right to voluntary retirement after 21 years of service as Assistant Professor in Pharmacology. Key Finding: Though the government rejected his retirement citing "Scarce Category" status under G.O. No.201, the rejection letter failed to demonstrate that Dr. Paramasivam's continuation was "absolutely essential in public interest"—a requirement mandated by the amended Fundamental Rule 56(3)(f) proviso. The Court held the rejection letter non-compliant with the amended rule and upheld his voluntary retirement.
