Order issued
ConcludedThe Allahabad High Court upheld service punishment imposed on police personnel.
The Allahabad High Court (single Judge, 23-8-2002) dismissed the writ petition of Constable (Civil Police posted to Government Railway Police, Agra) challenging his dismissal dated 17-2-2001 under Rule 8(2)(b) of the U.P. Police Officers of Subordinate Ranks (Punishment and Appeal) Rules, 1991. The court found sufficient material, including statements of fellow police personnel recorded by the Deputy Superintendent of Police, that the petitioner formed a gang and harboured criminals committing robberies on trains where he was on duty and shared the booty. The court held direct evidence of complicity could not feasibly be procured, so dispensing with a regular enquiry in public interest on Tulsiram Patel principles was justified, with no mala fides pleaded. The dismissal from service was upheld with no order as to costs; no criminal-trial component is recorded in the judgment. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
