Sanjay Kumar Bajpai vs Union Of India & Ors on 12 February, 1997
15. To the same effect is the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of Sanjay Kumar Bajpai v. UOI and Ors. . In the said case the appellant was discharged from services as MER (Technical)/Nursing Assistant in the Army Medical Corp on the ground that he had furnished wrong information about the pendency of a criminal case against him at the time of his enrolment. Rejecting the contention of the appellant that his signatures had been obtained on a blank enrolment form which was filled up later on and, therefore, he could not be made responsible for the incorrect statement made in the enrolment form, the Supreme Court held that since the appellant did not disclose at the time of his enrolment that a criminal case was pending against him and made a false statement that no case was pending against him at that time, he was guilty of furnishing wrong information in the form required to be filled up for verification and the termination of the appellant's services on the ground that he had furnished wrong information at the time of recruitment was not required to be interfered with.
