Justice DY Chandrachud: One of the gravest problems of computer age is cut and paste order. I hate seeing High Court orders only doing cut and paste. If you are upholding something you have to give reasons.

Justice Chandrachud: No independent application of mind. Cutting and pasting from Tribunal judgment may add to volume of pages but does not address the core issue of the appeal.

Justice Chandrachud: Issue was whether respondent was correctly denied admission to IAS noting a disciplinary action was imposed upon him. IAS states DoPT guidelines apply for promotion.

SC: matters of selection of IAS it is the UPSC guidelines which are framed in pursuance under Article 320 that governs it. HC order is set aside accordingly. Letter patent appeal stands restored in HC. Respondent has retired and decision will affect his pension.

The High Court in question is: Orissa High Court

Problem of “computer age” is cut and paste; hate seeing cut and paste orders by High Courts: Justice DY Chandrachud
