CW-2023-0053RajasthanJudgment 20 September 2023
New Delhi Police Constable vs State of Rajasthan and Others
The judgment of the Rajasthan High Court records the following account. Constable of the 12th Battalion RAC (IR) at Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, was charge-sheeted in September 2007 for indiscipline and leading an immoral life, namely maintaining an illicit relationship despite being married with children and neglecting his family. The court recorded that he did not appear before the inquiry officer, filed no response to the inquiry report, was dismissed in March 2008, and his departmental appeal and review were rejected in 2009 and 2017. The court held codified conduct rules barring an immoral life cannot be tested against mythology or foreign custom, found no infirmity in the inquiry or dismissal, and dismissed the writ. An intra-court appeal (D.B. SAW/916/2023) is noted on the judgment memo. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
