Ram Saran vs I.G. Of Police, Crpf And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant from the Central Reserve Police Force under Section 11(1) of the Central Reserve Police Force Act, 1949, for providing false information regarding his date of birth to secure employment. The Court emphasized that integrity is paramount in a disciplined force and that the authority had the power to enhance punishment under Rule 29(d) of the Central Reserve Police Force Rules, 1955. The dismissal was deemed justified despite the appellant's long service, as he was ineligible for appointment due to age misrepresentation.
