Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the respondent had a legal right to be appointed as a security guard despite being on the select list. The Court held that the management's decision to abolish the posts and contract out services was within their discretion, and the respondent failed to demonstrate any malice or arbitrary action. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that the management's choice regarding post retention is not subject to judicial interference unless extraordinary circumstances are proven.
