Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellants' selection as police constables was improperly cancelled due to their alleged involvement in a criminal case, which they claimed was unknown to them at the time of filling the attestation form. The Court emphasized that the appellants were not aware of the FIR against them and thus did not intentionally suppress information. The Court overturned the decisions of the Andhra Pradesh State Administrative Tribunal and the High Court, ruling that the cancellation of their selection was unjustified.
