The court in its writ jurisdiction can interfere only if its decision is illogical or suffers from procedural impropriety or shocks the conscience of the court in the sense that it is in defiance of logic or moral standards. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">The court cannot clothe itself with the power to make a choice and should not substitute its decision over a decision of an expert committee. It may be reiterated that the scope of judicial review is limited to the deficiency in decision making process and not the decision. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%\">The Court further opined that the committee of administrators has minutely examined the claim of each of the sports person and passed a detailed order while finalizing the list, which is under challenge. The power of judicial review in the matters relating to sports can be exercised only if there is an allegation of bad faith. The courts do not have any expertise to get into the selection and finalization of players for participation at the international level. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">This court is conscious of the fact that any such findings can be interfered with only if there is any perversity or arbitrariness in the findings arrived at by the federation concerned. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%\">The Court thus held &#8220;<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Committee of Administrator has weighed different factors and therefore, this court finds itself unable to interfere in exercise of its power of judicial review. This court also finds complete absence of any arbitrariness or malafide in the decision arrived at by the Committee of Administrators.<\/span>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom:
