Director General Of Police, Haryana & ... vs Dharmender Singh

The Supreme Court held that non-disclosure of a prior arrest in an application form for police enrolment is a valid ground for denial of allocation of a belt number, as established in A.P. Public Service Commission vs. Koneti Venkateswarulu, (2005) 7 SCC 177. The Court emphasized the importance of full disclosure in application processes, affirming that such omissions can lead to disqualification. Consequently, the appeal by the Director General of Police, Haryana was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside without costs.
