Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that non-disclosure of a criminal case in a verification form is not automatically fatal to a candidate's employment, especially if the candidate was acquitted. The Court emphasized that each case must be evaluated based on its specific facts and circumstances, referencing Sections 324, 352, and 504 IPC. The Court held that the appellant's selection should not have been canceled solely based on the non-disclosure of the acquitted case, as the affidavit submitted was not false in light of the acquittal.
