Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Writ Petition under Article 32 of the Constitution, stating that the petitioners, who sought absorption as Systems Officers and Systems Assistants in the Gujarat High Court, had an alternative remedy available under Article 226. The Court held that it is not inclined to entertain the petition as the petitioners could pursue appropriate proceedings in the High Court. The dismissal was based on the principle that the Supreme Court should not interfere when an alternative remedy exists.
