CHIEF SEC.OF GOVT.OF KARNATAKA vs M.HABEEB (D) BY LRS.

The Supreme Court set aside the order dated 5th July 2012 of the Karnataka High Court, which directed the implementation of an earlier order from 15th April 2008, as the appellants had filed a writ appeal against the latter order that was still pending. The Court held that the High Court should not have passed the impugned order until the writ appeal was decided on its merits. The judgment emphasizes the need for finality in pending appeals before implementing orders.
