Kunal Nanda vs Union Of India & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal, affirming that the appellant, a member of the CRPF on deputation to the CBI, had no vested right to permanent absorption in the CBI as there were no specific statutory rules governing such absorption. The Court noted that the appellant's claim was undermined by his failure to provide original documents supporting his educational qualifications, which were misrepresented. Consequently, the Court held that the repatriation of the appellant to his parent department was justified and lawful under the relevant departmental instructions.
