Judicial review is limited, yet interference is justified where the order is mala fide, arbitrary, perverse, or unsupported by evidence. On the stated facts, the authority relied largely on the employee's criminal cases and efforts to secure their withdrawal, while the service record did not show adverse integrity entries and the review process was not consistent.
