Headnote | Education/Educational Institutions – Matters of academic nature – Interference by the court – Extent and power of – Upper Subordinate Services preliminary examination – Key answers challenged by the candidates as incorrect – High Court overruled the view of the Commission which was based on the report of expert Committee – On appeal, held: Judges are not experts and cannot take on the role of experts in academic matters – They must exercise great restraint in such matters and should not overstep their jurisdiction to upset the opinion of the experts – Courts should be reluctant to entertain a plea challenging the correctness of the key answers – When the candidate demonstrates that the key answers are patently wrong on the face of it, the courts can enter into the academic field, weigh the pros and cons of the arguments given by both sides and hold as to which of the answer is better or more correct – On facts, all the three questions needed a long process of reasoning and High Court itself noticed that the stand of the Commission is also supported by certain text books – High Court over stepped its jurisdiction by giving the directions amounting to setting aside the decision of experts in the field – Answer given by the Commission is correct – Order passed by the High Court is set aside. |
