( 1 ) THIS is an appeal from an order of Mr. Justice Chaturvedi dated the 7th February, 1957, dismissing a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution. On the 22nd October, 1955 the appellant who was a police constable, was served with a charge sheet under Section 7 of the police Act in which it was alleged that he had been remiss in the discharge of his duties as a police officer and unfit for the same in that he had committed certain acts of misconduct, particulars of which were specified in the charge. The Deputy Superintendent of Police, who conducted the inquiry found the charges to be established, and by an, order dated the 22nd May, 1956 he dismissed the appellant from police force. The appellant then appealed to the Inspector general of Police. Northern Range, Bareilly, but his appeal was dismissed by an order dated the 12th October, 1956. The appellant then filed a petition in this Court in which he questioned the validity of the order dismissing him from service on a number of grounds. That petition was dismissed by Mr. Justice Chaturvedi by the order which is the subject of the present appeal.
