Delhi High Court Orders Reinstatement Of CISF Officer Dismissed After Alleged Conspiracy Involving Sexual Harassment

The Delhi High Court ordered the reinstatement of CISF officer Satish Kumar, dismissed after being accused of conspiring with a female constable in a sexual harassment case. The court found the dismissal unjustified, noting that the main charge against Kumar was tied to a superior officer, Ganjir, who was punished for sexual misconduct. Kumar had responded to the constable’s calls for help and restrained Ganjir, leading to retaliatory accusations against him. The court highlighted that Kumar’s involvement was in aiding the victim, and his dismissal was part of a retaliatory strategy by Ganjir. The court emphasized the need for fair and just disciplinary proceedings, reinstating Kumar with all consequential benefits.
