NUTAN ARVIND vs U O I — C.A. No. 2546/1996

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Smt. Nutan Arvind's appeal against her non-promotion. The Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) had considered 141 candidates and selected 65 for promotion, rating Arvind as 'Good' but excluding her from the final panel. The Court held that it cannot sit in appellate review of a high-level committee's merit-based assessment and found no manifest error warranting interference with the DPC's promotion decision.
