Reason:
No.4670 of 2005 “State vs. Mohd. Ayub” under Sections 467, 468,
1
471, 474, 420, 406 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code. A complaint
was lodged against the appellant with regard to the acquittal. After
calling for comments from the appellant, and perusing the
judgement and the order of reversal in appeal, the Administrative
Judge on 24.02.2009 recommended an enquiry. A vigilance enquiry,
V.B. Enquiry No.26/2009, was held by the OSD, Enquiry, High
Court of Allahabad. The enquiry report dated 10.05.2012 was
adverse to the appellant. His comments were called for on
28.06.2012. On 20.12.2012, the appellant was informed that on
basis of the enquiry, a censure entry had been recorded in his
character roll. The order of punishment was accepted by the
appellant without any challenge. On 01.04.2016, a committee of
three Hon’ble Judges constituted for screening of judicial officers for
compulsorily retirement under the Rules recommended the
compulsory retirement of the appellant which was endorsed by the
Full Court on 14.04.2016 leading to the impugned order of
compulsory retirement. The challenge laid out by the appellant to
his order of retirement before the High Court was unsuccessful and
thus the present appeal.
