Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant's termination from service under Rule 5(1) of the Central Civil Services (Temporary Service) Rules, 1965 was unjustified as he had not concealed any material facts in his Verification Roll. The Court clarified that since the appellant was discharged in the criminal case and no case was pending against him at the time of filling the form, his negative responses to the queries were not false. The Court reinstated the appellant, emphasizing the importance of fair procedure and the need for clarity in the verification process.
