G. SUNDARARASAN vs U O I

The Supreme Court upheld the Tribunal's decision confirming the forfeiture of the petitioner's pension under Rule 14 of the CCS (CCA Rules) due to his failure to prove his Scheduled Caste status. The Court found that the petitioner, who was appointed in the Scheduled Caste quota, could not substantiate his claim as he did not declare his Scheduled Caste status in official records and had a false certificate issued in 1956. The Court concluded that the imposition of penalty was justified and dismissed the petition.
