Union Pub.Service Commn.& Anr vs Naseer-Ud-Din Wani & Ors

The Supreme Court set aside the orders of the Tribunal and the High Court, holding that they exceeded their jurisdiction by granting the respondent an appointment to the IPS Cadre from 1996 without a proper re-assessment of his Appraisal Reports (APRs). The Court emphasized that the State Government must first review the APRs before any allotment can be made. The matter was referred back to the State Government for a decision within two months, with a directive for the UPSC to reconsider the allotment only if the APR is upgraded.
