Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order regarding the eligibility of respondent No. 2 for the Chief, Town and Planning Division position was non-speaking and lacked reasoning, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized the necessity of providing reasons in administrative decisions, citing precedents such as Breen v. Amalgamated Engg. Union and Chairman and Managing Director, United Commercial Bank & Ors. v. P.C. Kakkar. The matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh consideration, with the stipulation that respondent No. 2 could continue in her position until a new decision was made.
