The Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed a plea from a former Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBPF) constable challenging his 2002 dismissal linked to a recruitment scam. The court, led by Justice Subhas Mehla, found that the charges against the constable were clearly communicated and supported by his own written confession. The allegations included disobedience of a superior officer's orders and involvement in an arrangement that charged candidates ₹40,000 for recruitment selection. The constable was dismissed after a Summary Force Court trial, which the court deemed fair and compliant with the ITBPF Act. The defense argued that the dismissal process was flawed, but the court ruled that there was no evidence of prejudice or procedural irregularities, affirming the integrity of the disciplinary proceedings.
