Swapan Kumar Pal vs Achintya Kumar Nayak & Ors on 12 October, 2007

The Supreme Court, in Swapan Kumar Pal's case (supra), has held, inter alia, that in a case of this nature, ordinarily, the High Court ought not to exercise its discretionary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. For exercising of power of judicial review, the Court has a limited role to play. It could interfere only if any legal error has been committed in the decision-making process. It could not enter into the merit of the decision. There is no such legal error which has been committed in the decision-making process by any authority which would warrant an interference of this Court in the facts of the instant case. While passing the impugned order, the appellate authority has actually shown leniency towards the writ petitioner by making a request to the Executive Officer of the Uttar Dinajpur Zilla Parishad to reconsider his previous order and take a sympathetic view by reducing the punishment inflicted upon the writ petitioner and allow him promotion in due course.
