Dalpat Abasaheb Solunke And Ors. vs Dr. B.S. Mahajan And Ors. on 6 December, 1989
"In the instant case, as would be seen from the perusal of the impugned
order, the selection of the appellants has been quashed by the Tribunal
by itself scrutinizing the comparative merits of the candidates and
fitness for the post as if the Tribunal was sitting as an appellate
authority over the selection committee. The selection of the candidates
was not quashed on any other ground. The Tribunal fell in error in
arrogating to itself the power to judge the comparative merits of the
candidates and consider the fitness and suitability for appointment.
That was the function of the selection committee. The observation of
this Court in Dalpat Abasaheb Solunke's case (supra) are squarely
attracted to the facts of the present case.
