A.Mariappan vs The Secretary on 15 October, 2025
12. The interpretation given by the learned Single Judge of the
Madhya Pradesh High Court in the decision dated 10.07.2024 in W.P.No.5059
of 2011 in the case of Ashish Rajouria vs. The Union of India and others,
may not be correct. As observed earlier, Section 9 and Section 10 of the CRPF
Act, 1949, deal with the criminal offences and do not deal with the charges
framed in the disciplinary proceedings. The Madhya Pradesh High Court's
decision, relied upon by the learned counsel for the petitioner, has only a
persuasive value for this Court and this Court is not bound by the said
decision.
