Facts of the Case
Background
Two former police constables were dismissed from the Police Force in 2014-2015 after being found guilty of contravening Police Act regulations. They appealed both internally and to the Police Service Commission, but were not provided with written reasons for dismissal as required by Section 68(2) of the Constitution. They filed an application for a declaratory order seeking to set aside their dismissal and reinstatement.
