CW-2018-0014Dehradun, UttarakhandJudgment 26 September 2018

Bhagat Ram vs U.P. Public Services Tribunal and Others

The Uttarakhand High Court dismissed the writ petition of Constable Bhagat Ram of the Dehradun Civil Police, affirming the Tribunal and upholding his dismissal for unauthorised absence beginning 12 May 1989. The Court noted he ignored suspension and a charge-sheet served at his home, never participated in the inquiry, and stood dismissed by the SP Dehradun in December 1990 with the DIG appeal failing in 1992 and the Tribunal claim in 1995. It held the inquiry finding was evidence-based, the absence till dismissal stood proved, and no interference was warranted with a disciplined force decision. Scope note: a purely internal disciplinary matter with no citizen victim. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
