Mumbai: The Bombay High Court has refused to grant any relief to a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable dismissed from service for sleeping while on duty at the Mauda Thermal Power Plant in Nagpur, noting he was the member of a disciplined force entrusted to guard an establishment of public importance.

A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Abhay Ahuja on Tuesday dismissed a petition filed by Kyatale Santosh Ramesh, who was dismissed from the CISF in March 2021 for indiscipline and sleeping on duty.

Ramesh was posted as a guard at one of the watchtowers at the thermal power plant in Nagpur. (PTI)
