In Brief
The Union of India challenged a High Court judgment directing proportional transfer of sports grants to universities. The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's decision, finding that it failed to properly examine the writ petition against the specific prayers sought by the petitioner and the Union's approved sports policy. The Court held that judicial review requires examining the applicable policy framework. The matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh consideration by an appropriate Bench, with directions to hear both parties and dispose of it expeditiously.
