The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Kerala High Court regarding the selection process for clerks in Guruvayoor Devaswom, emphasizing that the involvement of judicial officers in the selection process could lead to criticism and allegations against the judiciary. The Court ruled that the selection should be left to the designated committee without judicial interference, thereby ensuring the integrity of the judicial process. The application for impleadment was rejected, and the Court directed that the selection committee proceed without the involvement of a judicial officer.
