Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the petition for special leave to appeal under Article 136, affirming the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition challenging Doordarshan's selection process for T.V. serials. The Court held that the selection of proposals was conducted fairly and reasonably, despite not strictly adhering to the order of precedence. It found no evidence of discrimination or malice in the decision-making process, thus upholding the authority exercised by Doordarshan under Articles 226 and 136 of the Constitution.
