The judgment of the Karnataka High Court records the following account. Civil Police Constable, who joined in 1992 and served at Janavada Police Station, Bidar, faced a charge memo dated 7 August 2005 alleging he contracted a second marriage with Farzana Begum while his first wife \[name withheld\] was living, violating Rule 28 of the Karnataka Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1966. The disciplinary authority removed him from service in January 2007; the appellate authority modified the penalty to compulsory retirement in April 2007, and the KSAT dismissed his application in 2018. The Division Bench found no infirmity or illegality by the respondents or the KSAT, noting compulsory retirement is the prescribed penalty for second marriage, and dismissed the writ petition as devoid of merits. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
