CORAM: S.B. MHASE & R.S. MOHITE, JJ. DATE : 25th April, 2007 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. The suspension order dated 2.12.2004 passed by the respondents is challenged on the ground that since the petitioner was holding a post of Inspector, Bombay Police (Punishment and Appeals) Rules 1956 are not applicable. We have perused the relevant provisions of law and we find that the submission is misbased on misconception and mis interpretation of the provisions of Law. The Bombay Police (Punishment and Appeals) Rules, 1956 are applicable to all police officers, including the Railway Police officers of and below the rank of Inspector in the State of Bombay. However, the learned counsel has ignored the portion "of and below the rank of Inspector". As a result of wording of the said rule " of and below the rank of Inspector", the Inspectors are covered under these rules. Therefore, we do not find any substance in the grounds raised and, therefore, petition is hereby rejected. :2: (R.S. MOHITE, J.) (S.B. MHASE, J.)
