Petitioner, while serving as Constable (G.D.) in Central Reserve Police Force (for short “C.R.P.F.”), 114 Battalion, Lidaran Camp, Jalandhar in the State of Punjab, was departmentally proceeded against and by order dated 22.3.2011 passed by the Commandant of the said Battalion(Annexure-1), he has been dismissed from service.

The application is, therefore, disposed of with an observation that the Appellate Authority shall consider and dispose of his appeal in accordance with law as quickly as 2 possible preferably within three weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. pkj ( Kishore K.
