Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of a High Court's order directing re-evaluation of examination papers for recruitment to the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service. The Court analyzed whether the High Court's intervention was justified under the principles of administrative discretion and merit-based selection. The Court upheld the authority of the Public Service Commission to conduct and evaluate examinations and emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of the selection process. The appeal was allowed, restoring the original evaluation process and rejecting the High Court's order for re-evaluation.
