Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Calcutta High Court erred in declaring the appellant's appointment as Head of the Department illegal, as this issue was not part of the original challenge before the West Bengal Administrative Tribunal. The Court emphasized that the High Court should not have examined matters not raised in the Tribunal, thereby upholding the appellant's appointment. The judgment clarified that the authority to review appointments must adhere to the original scope of the case presented before the Tribunal.
