Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of a High Court order directing the State of Uttaranchal to pay Rs.70,99,951.50 with interest to the respondents, based on an inter-departmental communication. The Court found that the High Court overlooked critical documents relevant to the case, which could have influenced the outcome. Consequently, the Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision was flawed and warranted interference, leading to the appeal being allowed.
