The Supreme Court held that the nominations made by the Central Government under Section 3(3) of the Government of Union Territories Act, 1963, are valid and within the scope of the powers conferred by the Act. The Court emphasized that such nominations are not subject to judicial review unless there is a clear violation of statutory provisions. The appeals against the Madras High Court's judgment were dismissed, affirming the legality of the nominations to the Legislative Assembly of Puducherry.
