Union Of India & Ors vs Sukhen Chandra Das on 15 October, 2008
The decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court
cited by the learned Advocate of the appellants in
the case of Manoj Kumar vs. Govt. of NCT of
Delhi & Ors. (supra) and Union of India and
Others vs. Sukhen Chandra Das (supra) have no
manner of application in the facts of the present
case since in the present case, the candidates
concerned did not suppress any material facts with
regard to their character and antecedents and/or
date of birth etc.
It is also not the case of the appellants that
the respondents-writ petitioners herein did not
possess the requisite qualifications. The services of
the respondents-writ petitioners were terminated by
the appellants only on the ground of non-disclosure
of the graduate qualification although no extra
benefit was granted to the respondents-writ
petitioners for the said higher qualification.
