CW-2026-0081JharkhandJudgment 18 March 2026
Jharkhand Armed Police Constable vs The State Of Jharkhand
The High Court held that the constable had suppressed a pending criminal case when entering police service. The High Court held that a later acquittal in October 2025 did not automatically undo a dismissal founded on suppression of material facts. The High Court held that there was a distinction between dismissal for a criminal charge and dismissal for suppression. The High Court dismissed the writ petition and kept the removal in place.
