CW-1970-0002Bulandshahr, Uttar PradeshJudgment 14 July 1970
Shikarpur Police Constable vs State of U.P.
The judgment of the Allahabad High Court records the following account. The appellant, a constable at Police Station Shikarpur, Bulandshahr, was charged with other constables under section 7 of the Police Act for arresting a Shikarpur man on 10 April 1959, fracturing his legs, and concealing it with a false general-diary report. The Superintendent of Police dismissed him on 29 June 1959 after a departmental enquiry; his departmental appeal and revision failed, as did his civil suit in first appeal.
