State Of U.P. & Ors vs Sandeep Kumar Balmiki & Ors

The Supreme Court set aside the interim order of the Allahabad High Court that had stayed the termination of the respondents' service during the pendency of their writ petition. The Court held that granting such interim relief would effectively resolve the matter without allowing the parties to present their cases fully, violating principles of natural justice. The Court directed the High Court to expedite the hearing of the writ petition, emphasizing that the merits of the case remain to be determined by the High Court.
