Hyd.Metrop.Water S.& S.Board & Ors vs P. Satyanarayana Rao & Ors

The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed the appeal to the extent of staying the regularization of services of workmen pending the appeal's disposal. The Court emphasized that without this stay, the appeal would become infructuous, and thus set aside the High Court's refusal to grant such a stay. The Court also directed the High Court to expedite the disposal of the pending writ petition within three months, without unnecessary adjournments, while clarifying that it did not address the merits of the disputes in the writ application.
