What the Court held

The Court reiterated that exercise of public power and allocation of public resources remain subject to constitutional discipline, fairness and transparency. In considering the plea for an independent investigation, it focused on legality, institutional confidence and the Article 14 character of State action.

Why it matters

The decision is useful in public-law challenges where the complaint is not simply that an administrative decision was unwise, but that public power was exercised opaquely, arbitrarily or in a manner that undermines institutional confidence.

Practice note

Judicial review examines legality and constitutional standards, not the court’s preferred policy choice. The pleaded record must identify the public-law defect with precision.
