STATE OF UTTARKHAND vs RAJENDER SINGH ARYA

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order allowing seniority and consequential benefits to the respondent based on the overruled judgment in In Re: Suresh Chandra Sharma. The Court held that since the basis for the High Court's decision was no longer valid, the matter must be remanded for reconsideration in light of the principles established in Uttaranchal Forest Rangers Association (2006) 10 SCC 346. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court was directed to decide the matter within three months.
