Supreme Court restores dismissal of police constable who secured dual appointments through forged credentials
The Supreme Court of India upheld the dismissal of Ranjan Kumar, a police constable who held simultaneous employment in the Jharkhand and Bihar police forces by using different identities. The Court ruled that public employment obtained through fraudulent means cannot be sustained and directed authorities to consider initiating criminal proceedings against him.
Explanation in simple terms
The Supreme Court has ruled that a police constable must remain fired from his job. The court found that he used fake documents to get two different government positions at the same time. Because he lied about his credentials to secure employment, the judges decided that his dismissal was correct and final. He cannot return to his role in the police force.
