Army service not to count in 15-year IRB requirement for district police absorption: HC
Chandigarh: The Punjab and Haryana high court has dismissed pleas filed by a group of ex-servicemen seeking absorption into the district police (general cadre) of Haryana Police by counting their 15 years of service in the Indian Army for eligibility. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now These officials joined the Indian Reserve Battalion (IRB) of Haryana Police after retiring from the Indian Army upon completing 15 years of qualifying service. However, to move from IRB to district police, an IRB personnel is required to complete 15 years of service in IRB. Rejecting their plea, the HC held that the relevant statutory framework leaves no scope for such an interpretation. "The provisions of the rules cannot be amended by the writ court by treating the period of 15 years working in the district police (general cadre) to mean 15 years of service in the Indian Army," the HC clarified in its orders. A division bench comprising Justices Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Rohit Kapoor passed these orders while dismissing an appeal filed by constable Ajmer Singh and others. The appellants approached the court demanding parity in service benefits based on their long tenure with the armed forces. They argued that since their previous service had already been taken into account for purposes such as leave encashment and casual leave entitlement, it should be recognised for eligibility under the District Police (General Cadre) Rules, 2024. Rule 3 of the 2024 rules governs the permanent absorption of IRB personnel into the district police cadre. The rule specifically provides that head constables, C-1 constables, and exemptee head constables/constables of the IRB may be absorbed after completing 15 years of satisfactory service, including Phase I and II training. Earlier, a single bench dismissed their plea, holding the rule's language was "plain and unambiguous" and that courts have no power to read into legislation what is not explicitly provided. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The bench had observed that inserting past military service into the eligibility requirement would amount to judicial legislation—something impermissible in law. Aggrieved by the single-bench orders, they filed an appeal before the division bench. Dismissing their appeal, the division bench upheld the single-bench orders, observing that courts cannot add, subtract, or modify statutory provisions when the wording is clear. "It is an admitted position that the appellants have not rendered 15 years of service... In such circumstances, their claim is clearly not covered for absorption," the division bench observed while dismissing the appeal. With regard to plea that military service had been counted for other benefits, the court clarified that each service benefit—such as leave encashment or absorption—was independent and could not be linked with others.
