In State of NCT of Delhi v. Sanjeev reported in 2005 (5) SCC 181 = AIR 2005 SC 2080, the Hon'ble Supreme Court observed thus,
".......to characterize a decision of the administrator as "irrational'' the Court has to hold, on material, that it is a decision "so outrageous'' as to be in total defiance of logic or moral standards."
In State of A.P., v. Abdul Khuddus reported in 2007 (15) SCC 261, the Hon'ble Supreme Court, at Paragraph 12, held that,
"we are unable to sustain the order of the High Court, which had set aside the findings of fact arrived at by the Special Court, which, in our view, were arrived at on consideration of the materials on record and which, by any stretch of imagination, cannot be said to be based on no evidence or surmises or conjectures and therefore, it was not open to the High Court, in the exercise of its writ jurisdiction, to set aside the findings of fact arrived at by the Special Court which were based on sound consideration of the materials on record."
