P.Janardhana Reddy vs State Of A.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Andhra Pradesh High Court's decision to set aside the State Government's orders appointing a Commission under the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952, as the Government failed to form an opinion necessary for such appointment. The Court emphasized that the appointment of a Commission requires a clear basis of opinion regarding the necessity of inquiry, which was lacking in this case. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
