Union Of India & Ors vs M.C.Sharma

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment in Writ Petition No.5607 of 2010, which had relied on the overruled decision in Raghu Nandan Lal Chaudhary v. Union of India. The Court emphasized that the High Court should have considered the binding precedent established by the larger bench in Union of India v. Satish Kumar, which overruled the earlier case. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was deemed unsustainable due to the oversight of the later judgment.
