 "summary": "The Gujarat High Court (Sharad D. Dave, J.) on 15 January 2002 rejected the writ petition of CRPF Constable and confirmed his dismissal from service ordered on 20 April 1988. He had pleaded guilty before the Assistant Commandant-cum-Judicial Magistrate to absence without leave in April 1988 and refusal to accept a suspension order, was convicted under Sections 10(m)/(n) of the CRPF Act and sentenced to 7 days rigorous imprisonment, then dismissed under Section 12(1). The court held no separate departmental inquiry was required where dismissal follows conviction, termed refusal of the suspension order grave misconduct, and declined to treat dismissal as disproportionate given armed-force discipline. No civilian victim is involved; this is an internal-indiscipline dismissal upheld on judicial review. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
