In Brief
The respondent sought extension of his term as Judicial Member of the Central Administrative Tribunal. The Selection Committee initially recommended extension, approved by the Chief Justice, but later recommended carrying forward the vacancies to the next year after additional material surfaced. The High Court set aside procedural orders but the Supreme Court held that this did not invalidate the substantive recommendation. The Court clarified that carrying forward vacancies constitutes an implicit rejection of the extension request, and the ACC's subsequent order denying extension was valid as it aligned with the Selection Committee's recommendation.
