CW-2015-0032Ranchi, JharkhandJudgment 30 October 2015
CISF Constable vs The Union of India and Others
The Jharkhand High Court (Pramath Patnaik J.) dismissed a CISF constable's writ against his dismissal dated 29 July 2002. The court found he was drunk on firing-point duty at HEC Ranchi on 15 October 2001 and disobeyed a lawful order to deposit his rifle, against a record of one major and 18 minor prior punishments. It held that punishment choice lies exclusively with the competent authority and no interference on quantum was warranted. The dismissal, already affirmed in appeal and revision, therefore stands.
