Respondents. ----------- For the appellant : Mr. Dudheshwar Singh, Adv. Mr. Mukul Prasad,Adv. For the Union of India : Mr. Rabindra Kumar Priyadarshi,CGC. 6. 3.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and the learned counsel for the State in respect of limitation petition as well as on merits. For the reasons mentioned in the Limitation petition, the delay of 43 days in preferring this appeal is condoned and I.A.No. 10257 of 2010 stands allowed. On merits the writ Court has noticed the relevant fact that the appellant/petitioner remained under unauthorized absence for 609 days. For such indisciplined act of a constable in the Central Reserve Police Force, the authorities initiated disciplinary proceeding. There is no dispute that the disciplinary proceeding was conducted after due notice and the enquiry report found the charges proved. On that basis the appellant was awarded punishment of 2 removal from service. The higher authorities agreed with the order of punishment while disposing of the appeal and the revision. Even if the appellant procured some certificates from a Doctor showing illness, in our view, unauthorized absence for such a long period for a constable belonging to uniform service was a serious matter. The decision making process suffers from no illegality to warrant interference. The appeal is, accordingly, dismissed. Jay/ (Shiva Kirti Singh,J) (Shivaji Pandey, J)
