OM PRAKASH GUPTA vs THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH.

The Supreme Court held that the order of suspension against the appellant lapsed with the order of dismissal, which was declared illegal. The Court ruled that the subsequent declaration of illegality could not revive the lapsed suspension order, thus negating the claim for arrears of salary. The Court also addressed the issue of court-fee refund, affirming that the claim for damages was abandoned and the refusal to refund the additional court-fee was upheld.
