CW-1993-0009Ferozepur, PunjabJudgment 20 May 1993
Punjab Police Ex-Constable (No. 1119/FZR) vs The State of Punjab and Another
The judgment of the Punjab and Haryana High Court records the following account. Constable (No. 1119/FZR) of the Punjab Police was dismissed by the SSP Ferozepur on 18 August 1987 after a departmental enquiry proved his absence without leave for 5 months and 5 days (22 August 1986 to 2 March 1987), and his appeal was rejected by the DIG on 30 December 1987. He challenged both orders under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution. The Division Bench of the Punjab and Haryana High Court held that he had remained habitually absent despite eight prior punishments, that the past record was rightly considered in awarding dismissal, and that the action suffered from no infirmity. The writ petition was dismissed with no order as to costs, leaving the dismissal intact. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
