Prateek is right, it should be "after his retirement".

Yeah it should be "After he retires" or "after retirement".

"The retiring principal asked his old pupils to take interest in the school after him" - This is right as well. Since we are already mentioning " retiring principal", we need not use the same word again at the end.

Urvashi said:   1 decade ago
After his retirement should be correct answer.

Shiwali said:   1 decade ago
@Seepuri.

Check the meaning of "retiring". It is not the same as you are taking it.
