STATE OF SIKKIM Appellant
V/S
SONAM LAMA Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) - These appeals on special leave are against the judgment and order passed by the High Court of Sikkim on 4th December, 1985 allowing the writ petitions and quashing the impugned order of compulsory retirement. The short facts of the case are as follows:

(2.) The respondents being aggrieved filed three writ petitions bearing Nos. 26, 27 and 28 of 1985 challenging the validity of the impugned order. The High Court on hearing the parties arrived at the finding that there has been a violation of the principles of natural justice and also held that the impugned order was made not in public interest as well as by non-observance of the provisions of Article 21 of the Constitution. So, the High Court quashed the order of compulsory retirement and allowed the writ petitions.

(3.) Against this judgment and order the instant appeals on special leave are preferred before this court.
