Krishna Hare Gaur vs Vinod Kumar Tyagi And Ors

The Supreme Court held that the principle of res judicata was incorrectly applied by the High Court in allowing the Special Appeal No.1165/2012, which favored Respondent No.1 despite evidence of fraudulent appointment based on forged experience certificates. The Court emphasized that the cancellation of Respondent No.1's appointment was justified due to the findings of the Additional District Magistrate regarding the bogus certificates. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's decision and reinstating the cancellation of the appointment.
