Chaturanan Barman vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors.

The Supreme Court held that the tribunal erred in assessing the comparative merits of the appellant and respondent No. 6 without sufficient material from the selection committee. The Court emphasized that the High Court was justified in its decision to not interfere with the tribunal's order, as the selection committee had already determined the merits based on the candidates' performance. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
