Istak Mohd vs State Of U.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the conflicting views of two Single Judges of the Allahabad High Court regarding the nature of a government order dated 24.4.2006, determining whether it was a clarificatory order or an independent order with no prospective application. The Court found that the procedure adopted by the Referral Court was irregular and modified the larger Bench's order by setting aside the dismissal of the writ petition, remitting the matter back to the Single Judge for final disposal. The appeals were disposed of accordingly, emphasizing the need for proper procedural adherence in judicial reviews.
