SWAPAN KR. CHAKRABORTY Vs. STATE OF TRIPURA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) BY means of this petition, the petitioner has challenged the Order dated 19 -12 -2005 whereby his name was struck off from the roll of the Home Guards.

(2.) WE are not going into the other contentious issues raised, but in the year 2005 an inquiry was conducted against the petitioner and in the inquiry, the charge was that though the petitioner was on medical leave from 04 -03 -2004 to 04 -04 -2004, he during this period had left the State of Tripura and had gone to places outside Tripura and indulged in activities unbecoming a Home Guard.

(3.) FROM the notice which was issued to the petitioner, it is obvious that the allegation against him on which the inquiry was to be conducted and on the basis of which explanation was called was only that during the period he was on sick leave, he had left the station unauthorizedly and had gone to Hyderabad with some political motive. It was also alleged that in March, 2004 he had taken up some political programmes including campaigning, secret meeting, postering, wall writing and distribution of leaflets. Thus, these were the two charges against the petitioner.
