Chhattisgarh HC Upholds Pay Cut for CISF Constable Over Anti-Army Facebook Posts

The Chhattisgarh High Court has upheld a pay cut imposed on a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable for posting content on Facebook that criticized the Indian Army. The court held that the disciplinary action taken by the CISF was justified under the service rules governing conduct of its personnel. The constable had been warned earlier for the posts, which were deemed to undermine the morale of the armed forces. The High Court rejected the appeal filed by the constable, affirming that the punishment was proportionate to the offence. The decision underscores the importance of maintaining decorum and respect for the armed forces among security personnel.
