UNION OF INDIA vs NARENDER SINGH

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of a writ petition as infructuous by the Delhi High Court was incorrect, as the reinstatement of the employee did not negate the merits of the case. The Court emphasized that a writ petition challenging the Tribunal's order remains valid despite the implementation of that order. The judgment referenced Union of India v. G.R. Prabhavalkar, reinforcing that compliance with a Tribunal's order does not render a legal challenge moot. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside.
