SC restores dismissal of CISF personnel for second marriage

SC restores dismissal of CISF personnel for second marriage

The Supreme Court of India decided to keep the punishment of a man who was fired from his job in the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).

He was fired because he got married a second time while he was still legally married to his first wife.

The rules of the CISF say that if someone is married and then marries again, they can be dismissed from service.

The man's first wife told the authorities about the second marriage, and after an investigation, he was fired.

The man went to the high court, which said maybe he should not be fired but just removed from service.

But the Supreme Court said no, the original punishment should stay because the rules are clear and important for maintaining discipline in the force.

So, the man will not get his job back.
