CW-2010-0023GujaratJudgment 5 March 2010
[name withheld] vs District Superintendent of Police & 3
The judgment of the Gujarat High Court records the following account. Unarmed Constable, in service since 1978, was acquitted (benefit of doubt) in a 1987 murder trial, then chargesheeted (16 May 1988) for absence from duty (proved) and extra-marital relations (partly proved). The DSP imposed stoppage of one increment (26 Dec 1990); the DIG enhanced it to dismissal from service (28 Aug 1991), confirmed by the IG (9 Jun 1993) and Home Department (13 Jan 1994). Later proceedings: on 18 July 2013, the Gujarat High Court set aside the order recorded in this judgment (concerning [name withheld]); the outcome recorded here therefore does not stand. The Single Judge (5 Mar 2010) dismissed his petition; on appeal the Division Bench set aside the dismissal and restored the DSP's penalty ((2013) 3 GLR 2729).
