The judgment of the Patna High Court records the following account. \[name withheld\], CISF Constable. 894340365 on internal security duty at Oil Duliajan, was charge-sheeted for abusing Head Constable on 01.04.2006 and threatening on the counting parade that he could use his service weapon and 100 rounds to kill him, against a record of one major and eleven minor punishments. The Commandant dismissed him on 13.02.2007 after a full departmental proceeding; the DIG confirmed the dismissal on 29.05.2007 and the IG rejected his revision on 23.05.2008.
