CAT refuses to give relief to Delhi Police officer



The Central Administrative Tribunal has refused to give relief to a Delhi Police sub-inspector, whose one year of service was forfeited after he was found guilty of dereliction of duty.


"If there is some evidence against the SI, which has not been rebutted and a clear finding has been recorded by the inquiry officer, it is neither a case of 'no evidence' nor 'no misconduct', the Tribunal bench, comprising members Veena Chhotray and Shanker Raju, said.



"Accordingly, on proper procedure followed by the Delhi Police, he has been rightly held guilty and punished," it said.



The CAT passed the order on a plea of Dinesh Kumar, challenging the Delhi Police decision to forfeit his one year of approved service temporarily for not properly investigating a case of theft entrusted to him.
