AVTAR SINGH NO. 94134415 EX. RT.. vs UNION OF INDIA AND ORS MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS SECRETARY

The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant from service in the CRPF was justified due to the suppression of information regarding his involvement in a criminal case, as outlined in Avtar Singh v. Union of India (2016) 8 SCC 471. The Court emphasized that candidates must provide truthful information about any criminal cases, and the employer has discretion to terminate services based on the nature of the offense. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the termination despite the appellant's acquittal, given the pending appeal at the time of termination.
