[name withheld], a constable in the 205 COBRA Battalion of the CRPF at Barachatti, Gaya, was dismissed on 18.01.2012 after a departmental proceeding found he had remained unauthorizedly absent from 13.03.2010 to 22.09.2010 (194 days) and had fled from PMCH Patna while under treatment. His appeal before the DIG (09.10.2012) and revision before the IG (04.09.2013) were rejected. He challenged the dismissal and appellate orders before the Patna High Court under Article 226. The Court found the absence was knowing and without sanctioned leave or justified reason, held that overstay by members of a disciplined force must be dealt with sternly, and found the punishment not disproportionate. The writ petition was dismissed and the dismissal from service stands. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
