MAHESH GROVER, J.

The petitioner has impugned the order of compulsory

retirement which has been passed at the age of 55 years.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that his service

record is good and he fulfills the criteria of 70% good reports.

However, a perusal of the record reveals that the petitioner is having

his integrity doubtful in the reports for the years 1999-2000. It is

settled law that once a person acquires a report which reflects on his

integrity, the employer is very well within his right to retire such a

person on attaining the age of 55 years upon which a review for

retention in service is the required mandate of the statute. The

petitioner having earned integrity doubtful was, therefore, rightly

retired from service.

C.W.P.No.6543 of 2011 -2-

No ground to interfere.

Dismissed.
