(2.) THE respondents in their counter -affidavit stated that the petitioner was appointed on purely temporary basis subject to completion of his probation. From the very beginning he was found to be habitual absconder. Ultimately action under Rule 843 and 824 of the Police Manual was taken against him. It is contended that the order of discharge passed by respondent No. 5 the Superintendent of Police, Singhbhum West Chaibasa is fully justified.

(3.) MRS . M.M. Pal, learned counsel for the petitioner assailed the impugned orders mainly on the ground that no departmental inquiry was initiated after the charge -sheet was sent to the petitioner. Without conducting any sort of inquiry and without giving any opportunity of hearing to the petitioner the impugned order of dismissal was passed by the Superintendent of Police just after few days.
