ANIL KATIYAR vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the appointment of Deputy Government Advocate, where the appellant contested the selection made by the Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC). The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, stating that it was not within the Tribunal's purview to act as an appellate authority over the DPC's grading decisions. The Court emphasized that the DPC's selection process, which considered the annual confidential reports (ACRs) of both the appellant and the respondent, was valid and justified, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
