CW-1977-0001Pali, RajasthanJudgment 26 October 1977
State of Rajasthan vs Pali Police Head Constable
The judgment of the Rajasthan High Court records the following account. Head Constable, working as Accounts Clerk at Pali police lines, refused on 7 February 1953 to let the Additional SP verify the cash box, misbehaved with the officers, and behaved insolently at the SP's residence until the SDM was called. After a fresh departmental enquiry he was dismissed in September 1960, and a Single Judge quashed the dismissal in 1969. The Division Bench held only the gross-insubordination charge proved but grave enough in a police employee to sustain dismissal, reversed the Single Judge, and restored the dismissal. No civilian victim is involved; this is a departmental disciplinary matter. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
