2 . Counsel for the petitioner submits that due to nonconsideration of the certain medical documents which he has annexed in the writ petition as Annexure 3, the proceedings stand vitiated.

¶9

3 . The other submissions made by the petitioner’s counsel is that the order of dismissal is not sustainable in view of the proceedings having been conducted under Section 11 of the CRPF Act which does not mandate such order of dismissal. He submits that same could not only be done if proceedings have been conducted under Section 12. In support of his submission he has relied upon the judgment of this Court dated 24.09.2002 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 10674 of 2002.

medical documents dated 22.04.2000 whereas the allegations are in relation to 05.02.2000 and 06.02.2000 i.e., prior to the issuance of said medical certificates. Therefore, whether the same have any relevance to the said occurrence and can in any way help the petitioner in his defence regarding none appearance before the authorities or to suggest that he was otherwise ill on the date of allegation, is not possible.
