Though as the appointing authority the State had absolute discretion in accepting or rejecting the recommendations of the committee, 'arbitrary and invidious' discretion in the instant case had rendered the committee's recommendations redundant. The Court noted that no legally sustainable ground and not 'a whisper of dissent' had been produced by the State against the appointment of the Petitioner.</strong></td>  </tr>  <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong></strong></td>  </tr>   <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Tags : Appointment, select committee, discretion, appointing authority</strong></td>  </tr> <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>  </tr>  <tr>      <td align="left" valign="top"><strong>Source : newsroom.manupatra.com</strong></td>  </tr> <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>  </tr>  <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">Regards</td>  </tr>  <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">Team Manupatra</td>  </tr>  <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>  </tr>   </table> </div> </body> </html>
