Honourable Acquittal V

Posted on by Rudrajyoti Nath Ray

Pramod applied for the post of a Police Constable. He disclosed, he had been tried for an offence under Section 498A, IPC. As he was involved in a criminal case earlier, though acquitted, his candidature was rejected.  

As such there was no suppression. Pramod was acquitted 7 years before he applied for the post of a Police Constable. It had been a matrimonial dispute which ultimately ended in a settlement.  

Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited v. Anil Kanwariya, (2021) 10 SCC 136 is not applicable. It is directed, Pramod be appointed.   

– Hon’ble Justice M.R. Shah, Pramod Singh Kirar v. State of Madhya Pradesh, [Civil Appeal Nos. 8934-8935 of 2022].

'The Last Word' seeks to include not only wise and witty sayings but also curiosities. These words are not of obligation but of delight. I am not alone in my refusal to believe, law is tedious. For all who escaped these percipient eyes, mea culpa maxima. History, after all, has many cunning passages, contrived corridors and issues.
