Exec.Dir.,W.Bengal Power ... vs Ardhendu Sekhar Bala & Ors

The Supreme Court set aside the order of the Division Bench of the High Court, holding that there was no necessity to stay the operation of the learned Single Judge's order since Shri Kamal Das had already joined the post previously held by respondent No.1. The Court directed that the respondent No.1's joining in the transferred post would depend on the outcome of the pending writ appeal. The Court emphasized the need for the High Court to resolve the pending appeal within three months without unnecessary adjournments, while clarifying that it did not address the merits of the case.
