Baikuntha Nath Das And Anr vs Chief Distt. Medical Officer, Baripada ... on 19 February, 1992
42) Thus, it is a trite law as per paragraph 34(iii) of the case of
Baikuntha Nath Das (supra), quoted above that principles of natural justice have
no place in the context of an order of compulsory retirement.
Central Industrial Security Force vs Hc(Gd) Om Prakash on 4 February, 2022
40) It is seen from the departmental records of the petitioner that
his APAR from 2000 to December, 2021 was duly considered by the Review

Committee; it had also considered the vigilance and administrative profile of the
petitioner; considered the email dated 05.11.2021 from the General Manager,
Karnataka to Executive Director (South) wherein, by referring to serious
irregularities, request was made for posting the petitioner out of Karnataka; and
also considered that the petitioner was awarded penalty of reduction of pay-
scale by 2 (two) stages for a period of 1 (one) year vide order dated
25.04.2017, which was reduced to reduction in the scale of pay by 1 (one) stage
for a period of 1 (one) year without cumulative effect vide appellate order dated
27.06.2019. Accordingly, on the basis of the departmental records, the Court is
inclined to hold that the entire service record of the petitioner was taken into
consideration by the Review Committee in its minutes of meeting dated
06.06.2023 and 07.06.2023. Accordingly, in the opinion of the Court, the Review
Committee has not acted contrary to (a) Regulation 22(2) of the FCI Staff
Regulations, 1971, (b) DoPT OM dated 28.08.2020, and (c) FCI Circular dated
09.07.2021. Resultantly, the recommendation of the Review Committee and the
order dated 12.06.2023, to retire the petitioner, is not found contrary to the law
laid down by the Supreme Court of India in the case of Baikuntha Nath Das
(supra) and Central Industrial Security Force (supra).
Rajasthan State Road Tranp. Corp. & Ors vs Babu Lal Jangir on 16 September, 2013
In this regard, it is seen that in the case of Babu Lal
Jangir (supra), amongst others, the Supreme Court of India had clarified that
the after promotion, the adverse remarks against the employee would have no
Page No.# 23/29
relevance and can be treated as wiped off when the case of the government
employee is considered for further promotion, however, the washed off theory
will have no application when the case of the employee is being assessed to
determine whether he is to be retained in service or requires to be given
compulsory retirement. Paragraph 24 and 25 thereof is quoted below: -
Pyare Mohan Lal vs State Of Jharkhand & Ors on 10 September, 2010
25. Having taken note of the correct principles which need to be applied, we can
safely conclude that the order of the High Court based solely on the judgment in the
case of Brij Mohan Singh Chopra was not correct. The High Court could not have set
aside the order merely on the ground that service record pertaining to the period
1978-90 being old and stale could not be taken into consideration at all. As per the law
laid down in the aforesaid judgments, it is clear that entire service record is relevant
for deciding as to whether the government servant needs to be eased out prematurely.
Of course, at the same time, subsequent record is also relevant, and immediate past
record, preceding the date on which decision is to be taken would be of more value,
qualitatively. What is to be examined is the "overall performance" on the basis of
"entire service record" to come to the conclusion as to whether the concerned
employee has become a deadwood and it is public interest to retire him compulsorily.
The Authority must consider and examine the overall effect of the entries of the officer
concerned and not an isolated entry, as it may well be in some cases that in spite of
Page No.# 24/29
satisfactory performance, the Authority may desire to compulsorily retire an employee
in public interest, as in the opinion of the said authority, the post has to be manned by
a more efficient and dynamic person and if there is sufficient material on record to
show that the employee "rendered himself a liability to the institution", there is no
occasion for the Court to interfere in the exercise of its limited power of judicial
review."
Gujarat State Road Transport ... vs Umarbhai Musabhai Patel on 13 December, 2021
43) The case of Umedbhai M. Patel (supra), has distinguishable
facts. In the said case, the respondent therein had crossed the efficiency bar at
the age of 50 years and 55 years and then he was placed under suspension on
22.05.1986 and thus, it was held that the appellants had sufficient time to
complete the disciplinary enquiry against the respondent and therefore, when
the respondent had two years to retire and the Review Committee had not
recommended his name, it was held that the order of compulsory retirement
was passed under extraneous considerations. Therefore, the facts in the present
case are not similar. It is seen that the Circular dated 09.07.2021, referred
above, envisaged consideration of review of FCI employees that an officer under
Category-I for the second time and the Review Committee had recommended
the name of the petitioner for his compulsory retirement.
