Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the judgments and orders of the High Court in Civil Miscellaneous Writ Petitions No. 52252 of 2007 and No. 40614(M/B) of 2008 were contrary to its earlier decision in U.P. Public Service Commission Vs. Sanjay Kumar Singh, reported in (2003) 7 SCC 657. The Court set aside the High Court's orders, thereby allowing the appeals. This decision reinforces the principle of adherence to precedent in administrative law matters.
