CW-2021-0018GujaratJudgment 1 September 2021
Gujarat Police Unarmed Police Constable vs State of Gujarat
Unarmed Police Constable remained absent from duty from 26 April 2002 to 5 December 2002 (224 days) and was dismissed on 10 May 2004 after an ex-parte departmental inquiry, a penalty confirmed in appeal and revision. He challenged the dismissal under Article 226, contending illness and violation of natural justice. The Court noted an earlier penalty reducing his pay was already in force and found no improvement in his behaviour despite past penalties. The Court held the penalty of dismissal proportionate to the misconduct and dismissed the petition, leaving the dismissal undisturbed. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
