 "summary": "[name withheld], a Government Railway Police constable attached to Railway Police Station Chapra, was dismissed in November 2005 after an enquiry found he had boarded a running train in uniform and extorted money from passengers. A Single Bench upheld the guilt finding but set aside the dismissal on hardship grounds, and the State appealed. The Division Bench held that dismissal for such grave misconduct by one meant to protect citizens could not be called disproportionate. The appeal was allowed, the Single Bench relief set aside, and the dismissal restored.",
