Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the appellant, Umesh Chandra Yadav, who was discharged from a criminal case as a juvenile. The court found that the cancellation of his appointment in the Railway Protection Force due to non-disclosure of the past case was unjustified, given that he had been acquitted and the case was over a decade old. The judgment emphasized the importance of considering the rehabilitation of juveniles and the need for fair treatment in employment opportunities.
