RANDHEER PRATAP SINGH Vs. STATE OF U.P.

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The instant Special Appeal is in respect of a judgment and order dated 16th May, 2019, passed by a learned Single Judge in Writ A No. 38804 of 2017 (Randheer Pratap Singh v. State of U.P. and Ors.). By the impugned judgment and order, the learned Single Judge proceeded to dismiss the writ petition observing that the same lacked merit for reasons stated therein.

(2.) This Special Appeal has been preferred by the writ petitioner. Having heard learned advocates for the parties, we are of the view that the only issue which falls for consideration is whether this Court - in exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India - can interfere for the purpose of judicially reviewing the views expressed by an Expert Committee, which were rendered pursuant to an earlier order of the High Court dated 16th May, 2017, even if the same is contrary to the view of a subject matter expert, being a document at page 60 of the papers before us.

(3.) Before we proceed to answer this issue, we need to take notice of the impugned judgment and order, which is reproduced hereinbelow:
