Case Summary: C.A. No. 004882/1999 The Supreme Court dismissed M.P. Electricity Board's appeal against the High Court's decision setting aside Shree Baboo's compulsory retirement order. The Court found the Board's grounds for retirement—absence from headquarters without permission and excessive telephone bills—insufficient to meet the "public interest" test, as Baboo's service record showed sound integrity and his calls were official in nature. The Court directed the Board to provide Baboo posting within one month, grant him remuneration as Superintendent Engineer from the judgment date onwards, allow service continuity from 1992 onwards, and permit eligible promotions; no refund of previously drawn amounts was required.
