 "summary": "The judgment of the Gujarat High Court records the following account. Armed Constable remained absent without leave from 26 March to 1 April 2002, immediately after the Godhra riots when police bandobast was in force, adding to repeated absences since September 2000 and prior fines. He filed no reply to the October 2002 charge-sheet, the inquiry proved the charges on evidence, and he was dismissed, which the appellate authority confirmed. The Single Judge upheld the dismissal, and the Division Bench agreed the inquiry was fair and absence during communal-riot duty was gross misconduct by a member of a disciplined force. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
