Compulsory Retirement Must Follow Service Regulations & Avoid Stigmatic Language | Bombay HC Quashes Order for Violating Natural Justice
The Bombay High Court has ruled that compulsory retirement of a public employee cannot be used as a disguised disciplinary measure and must strictly adhere to statutory service regulations. The use of stigmatic language in the retirement order vitiates the process, violating natural justice and entitling the employee to reinstatement with full benefits until superannuation.
