CW-2014-0037Dhanbad, JharkhandJudgment 12 December 2014
Gomoh Police Constable vs The State of Jharkhand
The judgment of the Jharkhand High Court records the following account. Constable of Gomoh Railway Police Station faced 11 charges arising from incidents including 24 December 2000, when he allegedly loaded his service rifle, threatened the Officer Incharge and reader, aimed the rifle at the Officer Incharge with intent to shoot, and chased the reader onto a crowded platform. Three of four departmental witnesses supported the charges, and he was dismissed in June 2003, with his appeal and memorial rejected. The Jharkhand High Court found the charges established after due compliance with natural justice and held that threatening a superior with official arms amounts to serious indiscipline no uniformed force must condone. The Court rejected the pleas of provocation and disproportionality and dismissed the writ petition. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
