The bench at Aurangabad has upheld the decision of the CISF to compulsorily retire a head constable, who was found to be sleeping while on guard duty and later misbehaved with superior officers. A member of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) sleeping while on duty to guard the main gate of a security establishment amounts to the highest degree of indiscipline, the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court held on Saturday [Prahlad Bhaurao Thale vs Union of India].
“CISF is an armed force of the Union and being the member of the armed force, maintenance of discipline amongst its members is paramount. A member of the force in possession of a weapon sleeping during the course of duty who is deputed to guard the Main Gate, which is under construction, is the highest degree of indiscipline,” the Court said.
