2. This is an appeal by the appellant (party-in-person) against the judgment of the Central Administrative Tribunal, Chandigarh Bench, in O.A. No. 423/HR/94 dated 11.10.96.

It is submitted that none of the retiral benefits have been calculated at the revised scales. Issue notice to the respondents limited to the said question.”

3. At the outset, we may state that we are concerned in this case with compulsory retirement of a government servant as a matter of punish­ment after a regular disciplinary inquiry. We are not here concerned with a case where a public servant is retired compulsorily in public interest.

4. The facts of the case, relevant to the dispute, are as follows : The appellant joined service
