U.O.I. vs AMAR SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the judgment of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, affirming that the respondent's service is governed by the Central Reserve Police Force Act, 1949, and not by Rule 24 of the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972. The Court found that the dismissal of the respondent was valid under Section 11(1) of the Act and Rule 27 of the CRPF Rules, 1955, due to the submission of a fake School Leaving Certificate. The Court dismissed the appeal of the Union of India, confirming the lower courts' decisions regarding the respondent's entitlement to pension and other benefits.
