JAINENDRA SINGH vs STATE OF U.P.TR.PRINL.SEC.HOME & ORS.

The Supreme Court addressed the termination of a Constable's appointment due to concealment of prior criminal involvement, which violated the affidavit submitted during the selection process. The Court held that the appellant's subsequent acquittal does not negate the fact that he provided false information, thus justifying the termination under the principles established in Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan v. Ram Ratan Yadav (2003) 3 SCC 437. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to not interfere with the termination order, affirming the importance of integrity in public service appointments.
