    This paper presents a study of integrable constant pseudo-metric manifolds of odd dimension \((n\geq 2)\). It is proven that if such a manifold has constant sectional curvature \(\kappa\), then the manifold is Sasakian and \(\kappa=\varepsilon=g(\xi,\xi)\), where \(\xi\) is the Reeb vector field. An equivalent statement is justified in CR Geometry. Some interesting observations on the pseudo-Hermitian torsion \(\tau\) of a non-degenerate almost CR manifold are given as well.
