Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court, affirming the exclusion of the appellants from the list of institutions selected to run Vruddhashrams on a non-grant-aid basis. The Court found that the appellants' non-selection was not arbitrary or capricious, thus not violating Article 14 of the Constitution. Furthermore, the Court ruled that the appellants were not entitled to a hearing prior to the decision, as the selection process was governed by the government's policy decision and the appellants failed to meet the necessary criteria.
