CW-2015-0036East Champaran, BiharJudgment 27 November 2015
Motihari District Police Constable vs The State of Bihar and Others
The judgment of the Patna High Court records the following account. [name withheld], a 1999-recruited Bihar Police constable posted at Motihari, sought review of the dismissal of his appeal against the termination of his service for complicity in the February 2002 kidnapping of a Raxaul resident for ransom. The court recorded that a departmental enquiry had found his home telephone was used in the crime, the victim was kept at his house, and he associated with a known criminal, leading the DGP to enhance an initial minor penalty to dismissal in January 2006. The court held the review was merely an attempt at a re-hearing on merits beyond Order XLVII Rule 1 CPC and disclosed no error apparent. The review application was dismissed as devoid of merit, and the dismissal stands. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
