Union Of India & Ors vs Sukhen Chandra Das

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the respondent's services as a Constable in the CRPF was valid under Rule 5(1) of the Central Civil Services (Temporary Services) Rules, 1965, due to non-disclosure of a pending criminal case against him, as required by Rule 14(B). The Court emphasized that the termination was based on misconduct and not merely an administrative decision, thus upholding the High Court's dismissal of the appeal by the Union of India. The Court affirmed the principle that failure to disclose relevant information during the verification process justifies termination of service.
