HC upholds sacking of BSF man over firing

CHANDIGARH: Punjab and Haryana HC has upheld the dismissal of a BSF constable, who had fired without provocation or order while being posted on the international border, observing that such actions may lead to serious international disputes between two countries, reports Ajay Sura.Constable Rajesh Kumar had challenged his dismissal from BSF after being found guilty of firing 13 rounds in an inebriated state while posted on the India-Pakistan border.”…It cannot be said that the act done by the appellant was of such a nature to say that the punishment of dismissal from service imposed upon him is shockingly disproportionate to such conceded action,” division Bench of Justice Harsimran Singh Sethi & Justice Vikas Suri observed. Kumar was dismissed from BSF in 2009.
