                                                           Vs

                                                    Union of India

                                     Writ Petition (Civil) No. 1290 of 1987

                                        (Ranganath Misra, M.M. Dutt JJ)

                                                      08.02.1988

                                                        ORDER

1. Heard counsel for the petitioner.

2. In spite of service of notice, there is no return. On the facts alleged, we are of the view that the
stand taken by the petitioner that he was not aware of the pendency of the criminal case when he
filled up the attestation form, is perhaps correct. In the absence of any counter-affidavit challenging
the position, the contention of the petitioner is accepted. The writ petition is allowed and the
termination order is quashed. The petitioner is entitled to restoration of service with all attendant
benefits. No costs.
