RAJ KUMAR SINGH vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a writ appeal concerning the removal of a Rifleman from the Assam Rifles on grounds of desertion. The Court found that the appellant had voluntarily resigned, as evidenced by a letter dated 21.11.1995, which was accepted by the authorities. The Court ruled that the appellant's claims of coercion and illegal detention were unsupported by evidence and involved disputed questions of fact unsuitable for resolution in a writ petition. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
