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.

59 constable recruits in the dock for submitting fake certs in 2022 hiring drive
1 2 Hyderabad: Central Crime Station (CCS) sleuths of Hyderabad on Wednesday registered a criminal case against 59 candidates who allegedly produced forged bonafide certificates to secure jobs in the 2022 Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board's (TGPRB) recruitment test for police constables (Civil, AR, TSSP), firemen, and warders. In a written complaint, Telangana Integrated Command Control Centre (TGICCC) junior administrative officer B Umakanth stated that TGPRB issued a notification on April 25, 2022, to fill vacant constable, fireman, and warder posts. After the completion of the selection process, during the final document scrutiny, the board found that the bonafide certificates submitted by 59 provisionally selected candidates were fake. "Show-cause notices were served, but the explanations provided were deemed unsatisfactory," the complainant alleged. Citing Rule 3(F) of the Stipendary Cadet Trainee (SCT) Rules, which says, "no person shall be eligible for appointment to any service by direct recruitment unless he/she satisfies both the selection authority and the appointing authority that his/her character and antecedents are such as to qualify him/her for such service," the board cancelled the selections and, through a memo dated May 1, 2025, asked the Hyderabad police to initiate criminal proceedings.

Dept inquiry gives clean chit to CBI judge suspended on corruption charges
Chandigarh: In a major respite to suspended special CBI Judge Sudhir Parmar -- who was arrested by (ED) in connection with alleged bribery and favouritism in a Rs 400 crore money-laundering scam involving real estate developers -- a departmental committee has given him the clean chit in the case. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, the report of the inquiry officer, which cleared him of the charges, is yet to be accepted by the high court administration. Judge Parmar was facing charges of alleged misconduct, involving abuse of his position to benefit the accused in ED and CBI cases under his jurisdiction. Highly placed sources in the high court administration confirmed to TOI that Nirbhow Singh Gill, Jalandhar district and sessions judge, who was appointed the enquiry officer by Vigilance Disciplinary Committee (VDC) of the HC administration, did not find much against Parmar. The report of the enquiry officer has already been submitted to HC. Now, it will be considered by VDC before being finally taken up before the full court for a final decision. The regular departmental enquiry against Parmar was handed over to Gill on Oct 3, 2024, by VDC. While Gill was the enquiry officer, Dharminder Paul Singla, additional district judge, Jalandhar, was the presenting officer. On Oct 19, 2024, both officers started the enquiry, examining several witnesses and evidence related to the controversy. The proceedings were conducted in accordance with Haryana Civil Services (Punishment & Appeal) Rules, 2016. The rules, however, provide that the inquiry report is submitted before the disciplinary/punishing authority, which is obliged to take action after supplying a copy of the report to the accused employee. Once the order of exoneration or penalty is imposed, disciplinary proceedings come to an end. The clean chit to Parmar, if accepted by HC administration, would also come as a setback to Haryana state vigilance and anti-corruption bureau that first reported to the high court administration about the alleged involvement of Parmar, who was then posted as special judge-Panchkula and hearing high-profile cases related to CBI and ED. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The FIR was registered against him in Panchkula by the bureau under Sections 7, 8, 11, and 13 of Prevention of Corruption Act, read with Section 120-B of IPC. The criminal case is currently pending against Paramar. On April 27, Punjab and Haryana high court administration suspended him. Parmar also remained behind bars from Aug 10, 2023, to Nov 2, 2023, after ED arrested him in connection with this case. ED claimed that its investigation revealed that Parmar, then posted as special judge for CBI and ED cases at Panchkula, was showing favouritism to some accused persons. The suspended judge's brother, Ajay Parmar, was also arrested by the central agency in this matter. The allegations against Parmar had come as a rude shock in judicial circles, as he was considered an upright officer of Haryana Superior Judicial Services. He was appointed as special CBI judge-Panchkula after clearance of his record / antecedents by several agencies. Even several district bar associations across the state of Haryana suspended work to protest when Parmar was arrested by the ED. MSID:: 123386254 413 |
