did not attend the OE and the served notice sent to him through RI, AR, Ananthapuramu

OE on different dates. But they were returned with a special report stating that the
delinquent ARPC 967 S. Ravi Kumar is not at all residing in the permanent address
given by him i.e Ashok Nagar, Ananthapuramu. He vacated the rented house and some
other tenants are residing in the said house and on enquiry it is revealed that the
delinquent ARPC 967 S. Ravi Kumar is staying in Bombay and working in Corporate
company. All the efforts made to trace the address of the delinquent turned futile.

ARPC 967 to my office. In this regard the Supdt. of Police, Ananthapuramu was asked
permission to conduct the OE against the delinquent ARPC 967. Sri S.Ravi Kumar,

No defence witnesses and documents were produced by the delinquent as the

The charge against the delinquent is that he proceed on medical leave upto
18.10.2004. He failed to send the intimation of extension of medical leave w.e.f 19.10.2004
and to intimate his whereabouts to any of the higher officers and continued to be absent

He was declared as deserter w.e.f 19.10.2004 and thereby violated Rule 3 of
APCS (CC&A) Rules, 1964 and exhibited misconduct quite unbecoming of a member
of disciplined force.
Inspite of several adjournments the delinquent PC 967 Sri S. Ravi Kumar did not
attend the O.E and the several notices sent to him through RI.AR. Ananthapuramu
instructing him to attend the O.E could not be served on the delinquent. The RI. AR
Ananthapuramu has deputed ARSI M.A. Haleem and other ARPCs to serve the
notices of R/Ms of SDPO, Kadiri on the delinquent PC 967 Sri S. Ravi Kumar for
attending the O.E. But they could not serve on the delinquent PC as his where abouts
are not known and he is not residing at his permanent address i.e Ashok Nagar,
Ananthapuramu. On enquiry it is revealed that he vacated the rented house and he is
staying in Bombay and working in a Corporate company. Efforts made by the
RI. AR, Ananthapuramu to trace out the address of the delinquent turned futile. Hence
the oral is conducted on exparte and examined the witnesses on exparte.

3
The evidence adduced during the inquiry clearly established that the delinquent
being Police Constable working in disciplined force having aware of the important duties
of the duty grossly neglected for duty by absenting himself for the duty without
leave or permission from M.L from 19.10.2004 and causing the dislocation for the
duty and completed the desertion period of 21 days and became as deserter. The
delinquent did not show any interest to attend the O.E to approve his innocence. On
enquiry it is revealed that the delinquent did not stayed in the headquarters i.e.
Ananthapuramu and he is staying in Bombay and working in Corporate company by
neglecting his duty as police constable in DAR, Ananthapuramu. It clearly shows
that he does not want to continue to work as AR Police Constable in the Police
Department and he may not return for duty as a Police Constable in DAR, Ananthapuramu
in future.
Summing up I hold the charge against the delinquent as proved beyond all reasonable
doubts.
Certified that the Sub Rule 3 to 23 of Rule 20 of APCS (CC&A) Rules, 1991 is followed
strictly in conducting of Oral Enquiry.
