Case History
Summary of State of West Bengal v. Safiqul Islam (CA 5776/2008) The Supreme Court dismissed the State's appeal on February 18, 2010, upholding the High Court's decision to set aside the dismissal of sub-inspector Safiqul Islam from the Railway Police. The Court found that charges against Islam—relating to releasing a Ganja offender and detaining innocent persons—were vague, unproven, and based on unreliable evidence. The Court directed his reinstatement with 50% back wages. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
