 "summary": "Calcutta Police constable had at least 31 punishments, mostly for habitual unauthorised absence, before a disciplinary proceeding found him guilty and recommended dismissal. His departmental appeal was dismissed as time-barred with no explanation for delay, and the West Bengal Administrative Tribunal held the punishment not disproportionate given his past conduct. The Calcutta High Court noted he had remained absent throughout the proceedings without cooperating and endorsed the Tribunal's proportionality view. The writ application was dismissed on 8 February 2012 with no order as to costs. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
