Kankda Police Head Constable vs State of M.P. and Others

The judgment of the Madhya Pradesh High Court records the following account. Head Constable and Constable of Dhar district faced departmental charges that [name withheld] demanded Rs 5,000 from a village Kankda informant over a stray buffalo, and when refused went to the village on 11 March 1993 and severely beat the informant and his brother [name withheld], then fabricated Section 102 CrPC proceedings to cover up. The Superintendent of Police, Dhar removed [name withheld] from service on 30 April 1994, and his appeal, representation and Tribunal petition all failed. The High Court held the SP had jurisdiction under Regulation 221, the SP's order amounted to a valid common-proceedings order satisfying Rule 18, and declined any indulgence on quantum since the corruption charges stood proved against a police Head Constable. The Court dismissed the writ petition, leaving the removal from service intact. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
