CW-2009-0036GujaratJudgment 11 August 2010
Armed Police Armed Police Constable vs State of Gujarat & 3
The judgment of the Gujarat High Court records the following account. Armed Constable remained absent without sanctioned leave or intimation for 354 days from September 2003 to September 2004, after more than 25 earlier instances of absenteeism. A departmental inquiry with full opportunity proved the charge and he was dismissed in August 2005; his appeal was time-barred and his revisions failed. The Gujarat High Court held that dismissal of a habitual absentee in a disciplined force is neither harsh nor illegal, and dismissed the petition. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
