The Uttarakhand High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by the legal representatives of deceased Constable, concurring with the Tribunal's order upholding his removal from service. The Court recorded that while posted at Police Station Narendra Nagar and deputed to Police Station Tehri for law-and-order duty, he absented himself from 12 January 1993 without leave and reported back after 123 days on 14 May 1993. It noted he ignored the de novo charge-sheet and enquiry notices leading to an ex parte enquiry and removal on 17 July 1997. The Court held such absence by a uniformed-force member amounts to desertion justifying dismissal. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.

> Learned Tribunal has given valid reasons for dismissing the claim petition. We concur with the reasons given by learned Tribunal. Thus, there is no scope for interference in the matter. The writ petition fails and is dismissed.
