IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 103 of 2010 Decided on: 01.12.2010 Ram Kumar ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: None for the petitioner. Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr. DAG, Haryana for the State. RANJIT SINGH J. The petitioner has filed this writ petition to make a prayer for quashing of the order of compulsory retirement passed on 05.10.2009 (Annexure P-8). The petitioner has been compulsorily retired on attaining the age of 55 years as he was considered not useful of further service and accordingly was not granted extension. The petitioner had made a challenge primarily on the ground that 70% of his last 10 years reports were good and thus the order compulsorily retiring him was unjustified, in view of the instructions and the rule position in this regard. In the reply filed, the State has disclosed the last 10 years reports of the petitioner starting from 1999-2000 to 2008 to 2009. Out of this, 5 reports for the years 2000-01, 2001-02, 2005-06 and 2007- 08 are of average grading. There is no report for the year 2006-07 and remaining reports are good. It is, accordingly, stated that 50% of the reports of the petitioner for the last 10 years are of average grade. The petitioner cannot claim that the order of his compulsory Civil Writ Petition No. 103 of 2010 -2- retirement suffered from any infirmity. No one appears to make submissions even when the case is called second time. Dismissed. December 01, 2010 ( RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
