HC judges cannot assume role of domain experts: Supreme Court
The Supreme Court cautioned High Court judges against acting as domain experts, emphasizing their role as neutral umpires in dispute resolution. The bench stressed that judicial review should not involve re-evaluating examination questions, urging High Courts to refer such matters to expert committees. This directive came while addressing a petition challenging a Jharkhand High Court decision on recruitment test questions.
