admin cuet_pg intermediate real_case

This 1982 case changed the face of administrative law in India. Bachputra was a group of students who challenged the government's decision to hold the UPSC exams in Hindi language for the first time. SC held that administrative decisions can be reviewed by courts if they are bona fide and not arbitrary or capricious. This judgment expanded the concept of judicial review and laid the groundwork for future cases.

What do you guys think about this judgment? Do you agree or disagree with the court's decision to review this administrative decision?
