Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the termination of a Constable's appointment due to concealment of relevant facts in the affidavit submitted during the selection process was justified. The Court emphasized that the appellant's subsequent acquittal in a criminal case does not negate the fact that he provided false information, which is a valid ground for termination under service rules. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that the appellant's actions constituted a breach of trust and integrity required for public service under Article 14 and Article 16 of the Constitution.
