M.V. THIMMAIAH vs UNION PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION .

The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's decision, which set aside the Central Administrative Tribunal's order that had invalidated the Selection Committee's recommendations for IAS appointments due to alleged mala fides and arbitrary marking. The Court found that the Selection Committee was properly constituted under the Indian Administrative Service (Appointment by Promotion) Regulations, 1955, and acted without discrimination. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
