    Summary The Telangana High Court allowed a Constable's writ petition challenging his dismissal from Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) service. The Court found that the dismissal order was passed arbitrarily in violation of natural justice principles because the disciplinary authority failed to conduct any proper enquiry or establish that the employee's unauthorized absence was willful. The Court set aside the dismissal but left open the option for respondents to initiate fresh disciplinary proceedings following due procedure if warranted. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
