Writ petition under Article 226 by Wazir Singh, a former CRPF Constable (appointed April 1990), challenging his removal from service by order dated 14.11.2000 (Annexure P-2) passed under Section 11(1) of the CRPF Act, 1949 read with Rule 27 CRPF Rules after a departmental enquiry into alleged indiscipline (attendance at roll call on 29.06.2000 in kurta-pajama allegedly for want of uniform and a chronic skin ailment, and the 03.07.2000 orderly-room incident with conflicting assault allegations), and the consequential appellate order dated 05.02.2001 (Deputy Inspector General) and revisional order dated 29.08.2001 (Additional Director General); an earlier writ before the High Court of Delhi had been dismissed on 16.08.2002 for lack of territorial jurisdiction. Held: judicial review is not appellate but confined to jurisdictional error, breach of natural justice, mala fides, discrimination or shockingly disproportionate punishment (relying on B.C. Chaturvedi; P. Gunasekaran; Subrata Nath; Kuldeep Singh; and Coimbatore Distt. Central Co-op Bank on proportionality). Section 11(1) CRPF Act permits major penalties including removal, so the statutory-bounds argument fails; however, documents A-1 to A-4 indicate the petitioner himself was subjected to verbal abuse and physical manhandling, the Inquiry Officer's own conclusion (Annexure A1) left the allegations inconclusive, and with no cogent evidence of guilt the proceedings and punishment are unsustainable; action was selectively initiated only against the petitioner though others deviated from prescribed dress, rendering it arbitrary under Article 14; and removal without clear proof of grave misconduct is manifestly excessive. Writ petition allowed; impugned orders quashed; petitioner entitled to reinstatement with consequential benefits, subject to appropriate calibration in accordance with law.
