Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of the High Court in reviewing the decisions of the U.P. Public Service Commission regarding key answers in a competitive examination. The Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by overruling the Commission's expert opinions, emphasizing that judicial review in such academic matters is limited. The appeals were disposed of, affirming the Commission's authority while allowing for some adjustments based on the High Court's findings on specific questions.
