Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the appointment process for the post of Member, Company Law Board, emphasizing the importance of transparency and integrity in selection procedures. The Court held that the Appointments Committee must consider all relevant information, including any adverse background of candidates, as per the principles of natural justice. The Court ultimately set aside the appointment of the 2nd Respondent due to undisclosed allegations against him, reinforcing the need for a fair selection process under the principles of Article 14 of the Constitution.
