STATE OF HARYANA vs DINESH KUMAR

The Supreme Court addressed the definitions of 'arrest' and 'custody' in the context of recruitment for the Haryana Police, specifically regarding the disclosure of prior arrests in application forms. The Court held that the respondent's acquittal in a criminal case meant he had not been convicted, and thus his negative responses to the application questions were truthful. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the rejection of the respondent's application for Constable-Driver, emphasizing the importance of accurate interpretation of legal terms in recruitment processes.
