Tata Cellular vs Union Of India on 26 July, 1994

In the case of Tata Cellular vs. Union of India, reported in (1994) 6 SCC 651, the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has held that the judicial review is concerned with reviewing not the merits of the decision in support of which the application for judicial review is made, but the decision making process itself. It is thus different from an appeal. When hearing an appeal, the court is concerned with the merits of the decision under appeal. Since the power of judicial review is not an appeal from the decision, the court cannot substitute its own decision. Apart from the fact the court is hardly equipped to do so, it would not be desirable either. Where the selection or rejection is arbitrary, certainly the Court would interfere. It is not the function of a judge to act as a super-board, or with the zeal of a pedantic schoolmaster substituting its judgment for that of the administrator.

In the first case the authority issuing the tender may be required to enforce them rigidly. In the other cases it must be open to the authority to deviate from and not to insist upon the strict literal compliance of the condition in appropriate cases."

Sterling Computers Limited Etc vs M & N Publications Limited And Ors on 12 January, 1993

45. Before we consider the issue on merit, it will be appropriate to consider the law declared by the apex Court on the subject. It is well- settled that while exercising power of judicial review in respect of the contracts entered into on behalf of the State, the Court is concerned primarily as to whether there has been any infirmity in the decision making process, and can certainly examine whether the decision making process was rational, not arbitrary and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution Sterling Computers Ltd. v. M and N Publications Ltd.
