DR. UMA KANT PANWAR vs DEVI LAL SAH

The Supreme Court set aside the adverse remarks and strictures made by the High Court of Uttarakhand against the appellant, Dr. Uma Kant Panwar, in Writ Petition (S/B) No.296 of 2010. The Court noted that the respondent-State had already settled the claim payable to the contesting respondent, leading to the expunging of the High Court's remarks. The appeal was allowed partly, with parties bearing their own costs.
