Uniformed Personnel Expected To Perform Combatant Duty, Menial Jobs Below Their Dignity: Madras HC On Orderly System

Live Law  

The Madras High Court recently observed that trained Uniformed Personnels, under no circumstances, can be utilised to perform the menial job in the residences of Higher Authorities. Justice SM Subramaniam remarked that trained Uniformed Personnel are expected to perform the combatant duty and other law and order duties in the interest of public at large. "The dignity if infringed at the instance of the powerful Higher Uniformed Authorities, then the poor subordinate, the last grade police personnel became voiceless and their life became misery, as they are forced to perform such menial job in the name of orderlies, which is undoubtedly below the dignity on the trained Uniformed Personnel, who is expected to perform the combatant duty and other law and order duties in the interest of public at large. " Further criticising the orderly system, the court observed that engaging trained uniformed personnel to do such menial jobs at the residence of the higher officials affected their dignity thus violating Article 21 of the Constitution.
