 "summary": "The Patna High Court (Prabhat Kumar Jha J.) dismissed a CRPF constable's writ challenging his removal from service dated 21 March 2014. The court found three 2013 unauthorized-absence charges proved against a nine-year record of 17 absences that had previously drawn only minor confinement punishments. It held that such frequent yearly overstay by a member of a disciplined paramilitary force amounts to gross misconduct for which dismissal is the liability. The court rejected the disproportionality plea, noting the authorities' prior unexplained leniency, and left standing the removal already affirmed in appeal on 2 June 2015.",
