\[name withheld\], a Rajasthan Police constable appointed in 1981, was charge-sheeted for unauthorised absence from duty from 14 September 1989 to 15 March 1991 and dismissed after enquiry on 28 December 1991; his departmental appeal and review were also rejected. He challenged the dismissal in a writ petition contending procedural lapses, illness, and disproportionate punishment. The Rajasthan High Court (Jaipur Bench) held there was adequate material supporting the findings and that writ-court interference is confined to cases of no material or gross illegality. The court held that absence without leave in a disciplined force like the police must be viewed seriously, and dismissed the petition, upholding the dismissal. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.

> Tested in the light of the aforementioned principles of law, the dismissal of the petitioner, who was a Police Constable and had been absent without leave for a period of 547 days, cannot in any manner be said to be disproportionate to the misconduct.
