Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of Writ Petition No. 26147 of 2008, affirming the Andhra Pradesh High Court's decision regarding the non-appointment of the appellant as a Junior Civil Judge. The Court found that the non-appointment was justified based on adverse remarks concerning the appellant's alleged links with a prohibited organization, as per the verification report. The Court held that such considerations fell within the purview of Article 14 of the Constitution, emphasizing the importance of character verification in judicial appointments.
