Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Government has the authority to review the selection of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes candidates for promotion under the provisions of Circular No. DGP & T No. 26/27/81, which allows for a review of candidates who do not meet the general qualifying standards. The Court found that the Review Committee's assessment of the candidates' overall performance and previous records justified their eligibility for promotion. Thus, the Tribunal's ruling that the Government could not review the selection was overturned, affirming the appointments made by the Government.
