MAAN SINGH vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a Delhi Police Constable under Section 21 of the Delhi Police Act, 1978, for unauthorized and wilful absence from duty. The Court established that the disciplinary authority's findings were justified as the appellant failed to report for duty or provide medical documentation for his absence over a prolonged period. The Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions, concluding that the appellant's habitual absenteeism warranted dismissal from service.
