Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of the High Court in reviewing the key answers provided by the U.P. Public Service Commission in the context of the Upper Subordinate Services examination. The Court held that while the Commission's decisions based on expert committees are generally respected, the High Court retains the authority to intervene if there are substantial errors in the key answers. The judgment of the High Court was partially upheld, affirming its decision on one question while allowing the Commission's view on others, thus balancing judicial review with academic discretion.
