 "summary": "A Division Bench of the Rajasthan High Court at Jodhpur dismissed the special appeals of Sub-Inspector Idan and Constable Asgar Ali of Desuri Police Station, Pali, sustaining their 1978 dismissals after a Rule 16 departmental enquiry. On 28 June 1975 the officers seized 15 kg of contraband opium from five persons but, instead of recording the search, seizure and detention in police records, misappropriated the opium, released the accused and disposed of the contraband for illegal consideration, with the constable abandoning duty to assist. The Court held the departmental findings on non-recording could not be faulted and could not be displaced by a criminal acquittal secured about 18 years later on minor contradictions, applying the differing standards of proof in departmental and criminal proceedings. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
