GUJARAT WATER SUPPLY & SEWERAGE BOARD vs JASUBHAI KABHAI HARIJAN ETC

The Supreme Court allowed the appeals filed by the Gujarat Water Supply & Sewerage Board, setting aside the judgment of the Division Bench and restoring the Letters Patent Appeal for fresh consideration on its merits. The Court referenced the precedent set in Jogendrasinhji Vijaysinghji v. State of Gujarat (2015) 9 SCC 1, indicating that the previous decision was not aligned with the established legal principles. The Court did not impose any costs on the parties involved.
