DELHI HIGH COURT THROUGH REGISTRAR vs ATUL KUMAR SHARMA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to allow a supplementary examination for the post of Administrative Officer or Court Master, emphasizing that the respondent was not given adequate time to prepare for the examination. The Court noted that the High Court's earlier ruling in C.W.P.No. 1218/89 did not preclude the filing of a supplementary application, as it was merely a continuation of the relief sought. The Court distinguished the precedent set in State of U.P. vs. Brahm Datt Sharma, affirming that the respondent was pursuing previously granted relief rather than a new cause of action.
