Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the termination of a Physical Education Teacher's services due to non-disclosure of a pending criminal case in the attestation form, which violated the terms of the appointment. The Court held that the High Court's decision to reinstate the respondent was justified, as the non-disclosure was not intentional and the criminal case had been withdrawn, indicating it lacked seriousness. The Court emphasized that the respondent's misunderstanding due to language barriers was a valid consideration, thus upholding the High Court's ruling.
