The Selection Committee was validly constituted because the governing regulations permitted proceedings to continue despite the absence of a non-essential member, and six of seven members attended, satisfying quorum with no shown prejudice. The evaluation of service records and interview marks was not arbitrary, since courts do not sit in appeal over a duly constituted expert body's assessment absent mala fides, patent illegality, or breach of rules. Judicial interference was therefore unwarranted and the selection was upheld. en-us Thu, 13 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 21:18:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172974 Selection to the Indian Administrative Service was not vitiated by mala fides, as the alleged link between a residential allotment and the committee process was remote and unsupported by direct or indirect material.
