casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Shailendra Singh's Special Leave Petition challenging the cancellation of his Constable selection in Delhi Police. Singh had passed recruitment examinations but his selection was kept in abeyance due to a criminal case (FIR under Sections 147/148/149/302/307/452 IPC). Although he was acquitted when prosecution witnesses turned hostile, the Delhi Police cancelled his candidature, reasoning that his possession of a country-made pistol ("Katta") during the murder incident indicated unsuitability for police service despite the acquittal. The Court upheld the Police authority's decision as reasonable, finding no infirmity warranting interference, and held that carrying a weapon in a murder case justified exclusion from police service.
