(Oral) 1 The petitioner challenges the compulsory retirement made through the impugned order dated 30.05.1986. The petitioner has also sought for the payment of retiral benefits. A compulsory retirement made on public interest is not a punishment that can forfeit the retiral benefits. The same has not been paid. It is to be ordered to be released in favour of the petitioner taking into account the number of years of service and the accrued benefits during this tenure upto the date of compulsory retirement. 2. There is no representation on behalf of the petitioner. I CWP No.5413 of 1986 (O&M) [2] have still disposed of this case only insofar as the issue of terminal benefits is concerned and it to be seen as non-contentious issue. The question of whether the compulsory retirement was justified is not undertaken for adjudication on merits. It is dismissed for default of non-appearance of the counsel for the petitioner.
