| Summary |
In the case of Muhammad Uris vs. Superintendent of Police, the Service Tribunal examined the misconduct allegations against the appellant, a police officer accused of corruption. The Tribunal found that Uris had demanded illegal gratification of Rs. 1,80,000 from two accused individuals in exchange for not arresting them. Despite being informed of the inquiry proceedings, Uris chose not to participate, which led to an ex parte decision against him. The Tribunal highlighted that the evidence against Uris was compelling, including testimonies from the accused who paid him the bribe. Ultimately, the Tribunal upheld the decision of his removal, emphasizing the importance of accountability in law enforcement. This case underscores the critical need for integrity within police ranks and the consequences of corruption.
