 "summary": "The Patna High Court upheld the departmental dismissal of Bihar Police constable, confirming orders passed by the Superintendent of Police, Aurangabad and the DIG Magadh Range. The departmental inquiry established all five charges against him, including being drunk on duty on February 4, 1997, assaulting a homeguard by throwing a dog at him and biting his nose, appearing intoxicated before the Sergeant Major, and continuous unauthorized absence for 144 days. Rejecting the petitioner's plea for leniency, the Court held that in view of grave indiscipline and habitual misconduct, dismissal from service under Rule 824 of the Bihar Police Manual was the only fit punishment. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
