Married policeman's live-in relationship amounts to violation of service rules: Jharkhand High Court

In a recent ruling, the Jharkhand High Court upheld the dismissal of a married policeman for cohabiting in a live-in relationship, deeming it a breach of service rules. The court emphasized adherence to conduct rules governing public servants, asserting that such conduct undermines discipline and morality standards expected of law enforcement officers. The decision underscores the application of service regulations in disciplining employees for actions perceived as detrimental to public trust and institutional integrity.
