Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to the selection of the appellant as Professor of Marine Science at Goa University under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the selection process was flawed due to apparent bias from the Head of Department and Dean, which compromised the fairness of the interview process. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision to annul the selection, emphasizing the necessity of an unbiased selection process in academic appointments.
