K.C. Bajaj And Ors vs Union Of India And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the procedural compliance regarding the withdrawal of the Office Memorandum dated 29.10.1999 under Rule 12 of the Government of India (Transaction of Business) Rules, 1961. The Court highlighted discrepancies in the affidavits submitted by the respondents, particularly noting misleading statements about the withdrawal's applicability to petitioners in the K.C. Garg case. The Court directed the Additional Solicitor General to file a clarifying affidavit from a senior officer, ensuring transparency in the government's position on the matter, and scheduled further hearings for 01.05.2013.
