The Karnataka High Court Division Bench (N.K. Patil and Rathnakala JJ., 18 December 2014) dismissed the writ of Police Constable and confirmed his compulsory retirement. The court recorded that he remained absent without authorisation from 6 August 1996 and faced a second charge of theft of two-wheelers, though acquitted in the criminal trial. It held the departmental inquiry complied with the KSP (DP) Rules with full opportunity to contest, and that the criminal acquittal did not help in disciplinary proceedings. The court found compulsory retirement with service benefits commensurate with the proved charges. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.

> In our considered opinion also, his compulsory retirement from service with all the service benefits, commensurates with the gravity of the charges proved.
