RULING ESTHER NATHANIEL MDEME VS TARIME POLICE COMMANDER AND 3 OTHERS FINAL NEW
The disciplinary process was vitiated by illegality due to failure to conduct a preliminary inquiry, use of an unsigned and thus defective charge, and denial of the applicant's right to liberty and fair hearing during a bailable offence. These procedural violations rendered the dismissal decision unlawful and invalid, warranting its quashing and the applicant's reinstatement.
