 "summary": "The Supreme Court on 6 March 1961 dismissed with costs the appeal of [name withheld], a U.P. Police Inspector officiating as Deputy Superintendent in the Anti-Corruption Department, upholding his dismissal from service. The Court recorded that complaints of immorality, corruption and gross dereliction of duty led to an Administrative Tribunal enquiry, which recommended dismissal in February 1950, and the Governor dismissed him with effect from December 1950. The majority held the Governor's dismissal power was not ousted by the Police Act and the Tribunal procedure caused no prejudice or substantial Article 14 discrimination. The dismissal therefore stood; no criminal conviction arose on this record. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
