Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal exceeded its jurisdiction by reviewing its earlier decision regarding the appellant's qualifications for the post of Assistant Motor Vehicles Inspector, as per Section 22(3)(f) of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985. The Court reinstated the earlier order which found the appellant qualified and directed his appointment, emphasizing that the Tribunal's review should be limited to plain and apparent errors. The appeal was allowed, and costs of Rs. 10,000 were awarded to the appellant.
