Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the interference with government policy decisions, such as the Catering Policy of 2005 regarding reservations, is not warranted unless it is shown to be contrary to statutory rules or the Constitution. The Court found no evidence that the policy violated any legal provisions, thus setting aside the Orissa High Court's order and allowing the appeals. The judgment reinforces the principle that policy decisions should be respected unless there is a clear legal basis for interference.
