Non-Disclosure of Compounded Offences Not Grounds for Termination in Low-Responsibility Posts | EWS Constable Case : Sikkim HC
The Sikkim High Court ruled that suppressing minor, compounded criminal cases in recruitment for low-responsibility public roles cannot justify termination, especially for economically disadvantaged candidates. The judgment anchors this in Article 21’s guarantee of dignity and the principle of reformative justice, setting a precedent for equitable treatment in public employment screening.
