STATE OF U.P. vs DIWAKAR KHARE

The Supreme Court set aside the interim relief granted by the Allahabad High Court allowing the respondent to continue as Media Prabhari, as the post had been abolished by the State Government prior to the interim order. The Court held that once a post is abolished, there is no basis for granting interim relief for continuation in that post. The Court clarified that its decision does not affect the merits of the pending writ petition, which remains open for consideration by the High Court.
