Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the termination of Anil Kanwariya, who was dismissed for allegedly suppressing material facts regarding a prior conviction during his application for employment. The court found that the termination was unjustified as the employer failed to establish that the respondent's actions materially affected his eligibility for the post. Consequently, the appeal by Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited was dismissed, affirming the employee's reinstatement.
