Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a Border Security Force constable under the Border Security Force Act, 1968, affirming the Summary Security Force Court's decision. The Court found that the appellant was given a fair opportunity to defend himself and that the punishment was not disproportionate to the misconduct, which included absence without leave and defiance of authority. The Court rejected the appellant's claims regarding unequal treatment and the definition of misconduct, affirming the High Court's dismissal of his writ petition.
