Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition, clarifying that Article 14 cannot be invoked to perpetuate wrong orders issued in favor of others. The Court emphasized that the principle of equality under Article 14 does not apply when the orders relied upon are illegal or unsustainable, referencing Union of India vs. J. V. Subhaiah (1996 (2) SCC 258). The decision in Mediwell Hospital was found to not correctly establish the law regarding exemptions under government notifications, leading to the dismissal of the petition.
