Police Subordinate Ranks (Punishment and Appeal) Rules 1991. The dismissals rested on their conviction and life sentences by the Additional Sessions Judge/FTC Sitapur on 7 August 2008 with eleven other police officers for the 10 February 1981 Sarsai encounter in which a Misrikh man, a Misrikh man and a Misrikh resident were killed, which the Court described as an alleged fake encounter and murder by the police party.
