| Decision |
The case involved the dismissal of a civil servant from the Punjab Police for absence from duty without permission for 34 days. The civil servant claimed to have been seriously ill but failed to provide a formal leave application or medical certificate. The tribunal found that the civil servant, being part of a disciplined force, did not adhere to the required rules and procedures, thus justifying the dismissal after departmental proceedings were conducted. The dismissal was upheld as the charges against him were established beyond doubt. |
| Summary |
In the case of MASIHULZAMAN vs. DEPUTY COMMANDANT, PUNJAB CONSTABULARY, the Service Tribunal of Punjab examined the dismissal of a civil servant for unauthorized absence. The tribunal upheld the dismissal based on the Punjab Police (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 1975, emphasizing the importance of discipline within the police force. The civil servant's lack of formal leave application and failure to notify his superiors during his absence were critical factors leading to the tribunal's decision. The ruling reinforces the standards of conduct expected from members of disciplined services and highlights the necessity for adherence to established protocols, particularly in cases involving absenteeism. This case serves as a precedent for similar disciplinary actions in the law enforcement sector, illustrating the legal ramifications of failing to comply with duty regulations. |
