UNION OF INDIA vs M.C.SHARMA

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment in Writ Petition No. 5607 of 2010, holding that the High Court erred in not considering the binding precedent established by the larger bench in Union of India & Anr. Vs. Satish Kumar, which overruled the earlier decision in Raghu Nandan Lal Chaudhary & Ors. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to the latest legal principles laid down by a larger bench, thereby allowing the appeal without costs.
