CW-2012-0036Godda, JharkhandJudgment 9 October 2012
Godda District Police Constable vs State of Jharkhand and Others
The Jharkhand High Court (Alok Singh J.) on 9 October 2012 dismissed the writ petition of Godda police Constable and upheld his termination from service. The court recorded as undisputed that he had been convicted under Section 364 IPC in Sahebganj Muffassil P.S. Case No. 51 of 2001, that the conviction had attained finality, and that his absence from duty was spent serving the sentence in Central Jail. The court held that under Rule 828(b) of the Jharkhand Police Manual no notice or departmental enquiry is required where termination follows a criminal conviction. The termination was consequently sustained. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
