 "summary": "The judgment of the Madhya Pradesh High Court records the following account. Constable [name withheld] was on guard duty over undertrial Pradeep Rathore in the general ward of J.A. Hospital, Gwalior, when the undertrial escaped between 3 am and 6 am on 13 May 2014. The department found he left his post to answer nature's call without informing a fellow constable, and dismissed him from service; the appeal was affirmed. The court held the joint enquiry under Rule 18 of the 1966 CCA Rules was valid, the enquiry officer had not acted as prosecutor, and the petitioner was solely guilty of dereliction. It declined to interfere with the dismissal and dismissed the writ petition. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
