Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal by the Director General of Police, Haryana, setting aside the High Court's judgment which had favored the respondent's application for enrolment. The Court held that the respondent's failure to disclose his arrest in connection with FIR No.43 under Sections 323/341/34 IPC was a valid ground for denying him a belt number, affirming that this issue was settled by the precedent in A.P. Public Service Commission vs. Koneti Venkateswarulu. The Court emphasized the importance of full disclosure in application forms for public service enrolment.
