 "summary": "The Jharkhand High Court Division Bench allowed the State appeal and restored the dismissal dated 14 October 2012 of constable, setting aside the Single Judge order of 18 January 2014 that had reinstated him. Decided the same day on the identical pattern as the companion appeals, the court found he had secured appointment under the trained Home Guard quota without completed training, a misrepresentation exposed on verification. The court held the enquiry and departmental appeal observed and the dismissal, affirmed by the DIG Kolhan Range on 14 April 2013, proportionate. The dismissal therefore stands. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
