**Officers (gated display forms):** Constable, Bihar Military Police-3, Govindpur, Dhanbad (1 in record)
**Victims:** Not stated (0 in record)
**Sentence / compensation:** dismissal
**Sentence type:** dismissal (dismissal)

Constable, first dismissed in 1979 for fleeing patrol duty at Ara railway station — a dismissal that attained finality up to the Supreme Court in 1981 — was reinstated in 1993-94 and posted with BMP-3 at Govindpur, Dhanbad. A later enquiry found that the reinstatement rested on a forged Home Department letter, leading to his dismissal in October 2005 and rejection of his appeal. The Jharkhand High Court held that fraud vitiates everything, so no fresh regular departmental proceeding was required before cancelling an appointment obtained by forgery. The Court found the impugned orders warranted no interference and dismissed the writ petition as devoid of merit. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.

> Hence applying the principles laid down by Hon'ble Court in the case referred herein above the impugned order does not warrant any interference. Hence, I find no reason to interfere with the impugned order.
