CW-2025-0079East Khasi Hills, MeghalayaJudgment 27 March 2025
Meghalaya Police BN Constable vs State of Meghalaya and Ors
The High Court Division Bench upheld the dismissal of a battalion constable for unauthorized absence from duty. The High Court held that the misconduct of absence from General Roll Call without leave stood proved in the departmental inquiry. The High Court found no procedural unfairness where the constable offered no defence witnesses and declined questioning opportunities. The High Court dismissed the writ appeal, leaving the dismissal and the Single Judge's rejection of the challenge intact.
