 "summary": "The Supreme Court restored the removal from service of Sub-Inspector, officer in charge of Kodur Police Station, for reprehensible conduct in wrongfully confining theft suspect [name withheld] in the station from the night of 5 March 1954 to 7 March 1954 without a magistrate remand, diary entry, or written acknowledgment. The Court found the departmental enquiry regularly proved the charge and rejected the officer defence that a Kodur man had escaped from village servants en route. Holding that the High Court had no jurisdiction under Article 226 to reappreciate departmental evidence by the criminal standard of proof beyond reasonable doubt, the Court set aside the High Court order quashing the DIG dismissal (modified to removal by the IGP) and dismissed the officer writ petition. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
