CW-2016-0031Madhubani, BiharJudgment 11 August 2016
The Union of India and Others vs BSF Constable
[name withheld], a BSF constable of 113 Battalion enrolled in 1990, was dismissed in May 2007 after pleading guilty before the Security Force Court to a 33-day overstay of leave. The court recorded that he was a habitual offender with 11 summary trials and 21 overstays in about 17 years including a 2006 conviction, and that due process with opportunities to defend had been afforded. The court held the Single Bench had erred in setting aside the dismissal. The Union appeal was allowed, the Single Bench order set aside, and the dismissal restored.
