The Jharkhand High Court (Aparesh Kumar Singh J.) on 28 February 2013 dismissed the writ petition of CISF Constable and upheld his removal from service. The court recorded that on 9 January 1997 he assaulted Sub-Inspector-Fire a Bokaro resident, who emerged bleeding from the side of his head, and that seven witnesses proved the charge in an ex-parte enquiry the petitioner boycotted despite four notices. The court held the plea for a higher-ranked enquiry officer was rightly rejected, that the petitioner had been given an opportunity to represent against the enquiry report, and that removal was not excessive or disproportionate to assaulting a superior. The appellate and revisional rejections were consequently sustained. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.

> For such major misconduct in the uniformed service like C.I.S.F., the punishment of removal from the service is not at all disproportionate to the charges levelled and established against the delinquent for assaulting a superior authority.
