By Court Heard learned counsel for the parties.
2. The writ petitioner, an employee of the Border Security Force, who was appointed as back as on 23rd February,1988 suffered injuries in the bomb blast in an attack by the militants and he lost his right eye. He continued in service and he was sent to the training also which he completed successfully and thereafter he is sought to be retired by order dated 29th December, 2004, informing him to retire w.e.f. 31st December, 2004.
3. After going through the reasons given in the impugned judgment dated 29th July, 2011, we are of the considered opinion that the learned Single Judge has carefully considered all aspects of the matter and rightly held that the order asking the petitioner to retire from 31st December, 2004 is absolutely illegal.
4. In view of the above reasons, we do not find any merit in the Letters Patent Appeal. The Letters Patent Appeal is dismissed.
