Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the validity of a selection process that was initially invalidated by a writ court but later reversed by the appellate court. The Court emphasized the limited scope of judicial review in matters of selection and appointment, especially when experts are involved in the process. The judgment underscores the importance of understanding the scope of administrative rules and the deference to expert judgment in such matters. The Court ultimately upheld the appellate court's reversal, reinforcing the principles of administrative discretion and judicial restraint.
