casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Karam Singh v. State of Punjab (1996) The Supreme Court dismissed Karam Singh's petition challenging his non-reinstatement to police service. Though acquitted of murder and serious charges, Singh remained convicted under Section 323 IPC and released on probation. The Court held that a criminal conviction constitutes a disqualification for a disciplined police officer, and probation release does not erase the conviction's stigma. However, the Court partially granted relief by converting his dismissal from service into removal from service.
