U.P.S.C. vs K. RAJAIAH .

The Supreme Court held that the Selection Committee's assessment of merit for appointments to the Indian Police Service was valid and did not violate Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court found that the Tribunal had adequately considered the merits of all candidates, including the applicant's awards and commendations, and upheld the High Court's decision to quash the Tribunal's order. The Court emphasized that the Selection Committee's discretion in evaluating candidates' service records was not to be interfered with unless there was a clear violation of principles of natural justice or arbitrariness.
