Karnati Ravi vs Commnr., Survey Settlements And Land ...

The Supreme Court held that in the absence of specific rules governing the selection process for the post of Deputy Surveyor, executive instructions under Article 162 of the Constitution can validly prescribe the procedure, including written and physical endurance tests. The Court emphasized that since all candidates participated in the selection process without objection, they cannot later challenge the validity of the procedure. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed for lack of merit.
