Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of a police sub-inspector was illegal as it violated Rule I of Para. 486 of the U.P. Police Regulations, which mandates that any information regarding a cognizable offence by a police officer must be addressed under Chapter XIV of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court found that the proceedings under Section 7 of the Police Act were invalid due to non-compliance with the mandatory regulations. Consequently, the High Court's decision to quash the dismissal order was upheld.
