Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by the State of Uttar Pradesh challenging the High Court's order that quashed the cancellation of the respondent's appointment as Sahayak Samiksha Adhikari. The issue centered on the respondent's failure to disclose pending criminal cases in the attestation and verification forms during recruitment. The Court held that non-disclosure of material facts in such forms amounts to suppression and justifies cancellation of appointment. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's judgment and upheld the cancellation of the respondent's appointment.
