 "summary": "The Delhi High Court allowed the department's writ petition and restored the dismissal of Delhi Police constable Jorawar Singh, who had been dismissed on 29 April 1993 for habitual unauthorised absence after pleading guilty at the departmental enquiry. The Court held that the Supreme Court's decision in State of M.P. vs Harihar Gopal still held the field, that the two-Judge decision in Bakshish Singh was per incuriam on this point, and that treating the absence period as leave without pay was only for maintaining a correct service record and did not obliterate the dismissal. It found the termination suffered from no illegality, set aside the Central Administrative Tribunal's order dated 22 January 1999 which had quashed the dismissal, and made the Rule absolute. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
