Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's order cancelling the select list for Ticket Collectors due to malpractice in the examination process, citing the authority of the Deputy Divisional Manager to cancel the list as valid. The Court emphasized that administrative orders must contain reasons, referencing Hohinder Singh Gill & Anr. vs. The Chief Election Commissioner, and clarified that the basis for cancellation was supported by a preliminary CBI report indicating malpractice. The Court concluded that the cancellation was justified and did not violate legal principles regarding administrative orders.
