Gross Misconduct in CRPF | Repeated Absenteeism and On-Duty Liquor Consumption Justify Removal from Service: Bombay HC Aurangabad
The Bombay High Court upholds the removal of a CRPF constable for chronic absenteeism and being found under the influence of liquor while on duty, affirming that such conduct constitutes gross misconduct under service law. This ruling reinforces that disciplinary authorities may impose major penalties without requiring proof of operational harm, as the breach of discipline itself undermines institutional integrity.
