Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a Border Security Force constable under the Border Security Force Act, 1968, after he pleaded guilty to charges of absence without leave and defiance of authority. The Court found that the appellant was given a fair opportunity to present his case and that the punishment was not disproportionate to the offences committed. The High Court's dismissal of the writ petition challenging the dismissal was affirmed, establishing that procedural fairness was maintained throughout the disciplinary process.
