Against the same, Khemka approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which set aside the remarks and overall grade given by the Accepting Authority. Supreme Court Observations After going through the material, the top Court concluded that the Accepting Authority populated its remarks and awarded an overall grade to Khemka after a delay of 184 days, in contravention of the timelines prescribed under the Schedule in view of Rule 5 of the PAR Rules. It remarked that in evaluating Khemka's competency by contrasting the remarks and overall grades of three authorities, the High Court entered into a specialized domain without the requisite domain expertise and administrative experience to conduct such evaluation, particularly when the Accepting Authority was yet to pronounce its decision qua Khemka's representation.
