U.P. Jal Nigam, Lucknow vs Manju Goel & Ors

The Supreme Court set aside the Uttranchal High Court's order dismissing the appellant's appeal for non-prosecution, emphasizing the need to hear the case on merits due to significant legal questions regarding liability transfer after the reorganization of Uttar Pradesh. The Court directed the restoration of the appeal and requested the High Court to expedite the matter's resolution. The appellant's argument that liability had shifted to the newly formed Uttranchal Water Supply and Development Nigam was acknowledged as a substantial issue warranting consideration.
