Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of the appellant's selection for judicial service based on moral turpitude was unjustified, given his acquittal under Sections 363, 366, and 34 IPC. The Court emphasized that mere allegations of moral turpitude should not automatically disqualify a candidate, especially when the acquittal was due to lack of evidence. The Court ruled that the appellant was subjected to arbitrary discrimination compared to another candidate with a similar background who was appointed, thereby allowing the appeal and reinstating the appellant's selection.
