Rule 16 UP Police Constable Service Rules | Pendency of Serious Criminal Cases Justifies Candidature Cancellation : Allahabad HC
Allahabad HC upholds the cancellation of a constable candidate's selection due to pending serious criminal cases, emphasizing that truthful disclosure does not override the state's discretion to assess character suitability for disciplined forces. The ruling reinforces that Rule 16 of the UP Police Constable Service Rules empowers authorities to reject candidates with adverse antecedents, even post-selection.
