The Supreme Court clarified that compulsory retirement is not a punishment for diminished performance, but rather a necessary step to uphold the standards of efficiency and discipline required. The court dismissed a plea from a CISF officer who disputed his removal after his performance had notably dropped from 'Good' to 'Average'. It emphasized the importance of consistent high performance among personnel in disciplined forces.
