“Sub Inspector Gurdev Singh (P.S. Sector 34, Chandigarh) and Constable Kaptan Singh are held liable for their gross misconduct and abuse of power. Both are ordered to be placed under suspension forthwith and to face departmental enquiry for disciplinary action against them. DSP (Lines) Jagbir Singh has not conducted himself as a just and impartial senior police officer. He also deserves an appropriate disciplinary action as the Inspector General of Police, Union Territory, Chandigarh may deem proper.”

Further, as per Section 2(o) of the Act, “service” does not include rendering of any service free of charge or under a contract of personal service. Here also, the service, sought to be availed of viz. free air pressure checking, by the appellant/complainant from the respondent No.1/Opposite Party No.1 was free and without consideration. As such, the respondent No.1/Opposite Party did not provide any service to the appellant/complainant, which the District Forum has rightly held in its order.
