State Of U.P.& Ors vs Diwakar Khare

The Supreme Court set aside the interim orders of the Allahabad High Court that allowed the respondent to continue as Media Prabhari, a post abolished by the State Government on June 18, 2008, prior to the interim relief. The Court held that once the post was abolished, the question of the respondent's continuance in that position could not arise. The Court clarified that its decision to vacate the interim orders does not affect the merits of the pending writ petition, which remains open for the High Court's consideration.
