 "summary": "The Punjab and Haryana High Court allowed the State's second appeal and restored the dismissal of constable for wilfully absenting himself from Police Lines, Ferozepur for 37 days in 1983. The court held the proven absence was the gravest act of misconduct under Rule 16.2(1) of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934, that Rule 14.11-A was only an enabling alternative, and that the authorities had passed speaking orders considering his incorrigible record of thirteen prior absence punishments. The first appellate court's decree was set aside and the trial court's dismissal of his suit restored. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
