# Promotion Does Not Erase Adverse Entries, Allahabad High Court Rules 2026-08-15T13:15:12+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Allahabad High Court has ruled that a government employee’s promotion does not erase adverse entries from the earlier service record when compulsory retirement is considered. Justice Anish Kumar Gupta held that the full record must be examined and that even a single entry concerning integrity may justify compulsory retirement. The court dismissed a petition by Mohd Jamil Warsi, a Class IV employee appointed in 1977 and compulsorily retired in 2005 after an assessment of his performance on reaching 50. It relied on Supreme Court rulings that adverse entries remain relevant to deciding whether an employee should continue in service, even if they predate a promotion. ## Coverage - livelaw.in This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
