 "summary": "The Telangana High Court dismissed the writ petition of Reserve Sub-Inspector challenging the major penalty imposed after a woman complainant alleged he tried to outrage her modesty on the pretext of coaching her for police-constable recruitment (Crime No. 357 of 2019, Malkajgiri). The Court held the departmental charge proved on preponderance of probabilities, that his explanation was not genuine, that the criminal acquittal on hostile witnesses had no bearing on the departmental finding, and that he had violated Rule 3 of the Conduct Rules. It sustained the postponement of increments for three years with effect on future increments and pension, with the suspension period treated as not on duty. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
