Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the civil appeals filed by the State of Uttarakhand against Mahendra Singh, affirming the High Court's order due to the peculiar circumstances of the case, where the employee had been in service for over 20 years. The Court chose not to interfere with the High Court's decision, leaving the question of law open for future consideration. No costs were awarded in this matter.
