Headnote | Government contract: LPG dealership - Selection process - Propriety of - Grant of dealership to the first respondent by appellant-company - Second candidate in the list of eligible candidates filed complaint alleging illegalities and irregularities in awarding marks by the selection committee - Thereafter the complainant died. Complaint investigated by a committee of senior officers . The investigation revealed irregularities in the selection process. Cancellation of entire process and decision to re-interview the candidates - Writ petition by first respondent - Allowed by High Court - On appeal, held: High Court erroneously proceeded on the basis that even though the selection process was illegal in as much as, as the complainant had died, the irregularities were no longer relevant.and the merit panel should be accepted - High Court failed to deal with the larger issue as to whether the Selection Committee had acted· fairly and properly in awarding the marks and preparing the merit panel - If the finding was that the marks were wrongly assigned to the complainant and consequently, first respondent had benefited, it would not follow that on death of the complainant, the irregularity in assigning marks could be brushed aside or ignored - In such selection, any illegality or material irregularity in assigning marks in regard to any person with the intention of favouring some one or excluding some one, vitiates the entire selection process - Manner of assigning marks showed a clear intention to favour the first respondent at the cost of the other applicants . High Court having recorded a finding that the appellant was satisfied about the illegality committed by the selection committee, ought to have rejected the writ petition, as the decision of the appellants to scrap the selection was reasonable and not arbitrary - Constitution of India, 1950 - Article 14. |
