CW-2019-0023Alappuzha, KeralaJudgment 22 January 2019
State of Kerala v. Mannar Police Police Constable (No. 4799)
The Kerala High Court (Division Bench) allowed the State's petition against a Kerala Administrative Tribunal order and restored the removal from service of ex-Police Constable. 4799 [name withheld] of Mannar Police Station, Alappuzha. The Court held the charge of unauthorised absence from duty from 26 January 2006 proved by uncontroverted General Diary evidence, with medical certificates covering only seven days and no leave applications in proper form. It held the second charge of private business while absent unproved, but sufficient that the first charge sustained the penalty. It rejected parity with co-delinquents on delay and laches and held the officer, as a member of a disciplined force, ineligible for leniency. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
