Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellants' selection as police constables was improperly canceled due to their alleged non-disclosure of involvement in a criminal case, as per the attestation form requirements. The Court emphasized that the appellants were unaware of the FIR against them at the time of signing the forms, thus establishing that there was no intentional suppression of information. The Court overturned the decisions of the Andhra Pradesh State Administrative Tribunal and the High Court, ruling in favor of the appellants and reinstating their selection.
