 "summary": "The judgment of the Karnataka High Court records the following account. Police Constable (PC No. 1709) of A Company, City Armed Reserve, Bengaluru, abused RSI a Bengaluru man and ASI in foul language on the parade ground on 2 March 2001, assaulting the RSI and attempting to assault a Bengaluru man with a lathi before others intervened. A departmental enquiry found the misconduct proved and he was dismissed, with appeal and revision failing; the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal sustained the misconduct finding but substituted compulsory retirement noting 15+ years of service. He sought reinstatement with back wages under Articles 226/227. The High Court held four fact-finding authorities concurrently found the misconduct proved and the Tribunal's lenient penalty met the ends of justice, dismissing the writ petition. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
