(1.) Heard Sri Amit Bose, learned counsel for petitioner, Sri I.P. Singh, Advocate, for U.P. Jal Nigam and perused the record.
(2.) This writ petition is directed against the order of compulsory retirement dated 02.09.2005 passed by competent authority in purported exercise of power under Fundamental Rule 56(c) holding that continuance of petitioner is not in public interest and, therefore, he is being retired on payment of three months' salary.
(3.) Counsel for petitioner submitted that there were several adverse entries awarded to petitioner from time to time, but all were expunged and, therefore, there was no material, whatsoever, to pass impugned order of compulsory retirement and it is patently arbitrary and illegal and based on no material.
