Cited by
We found no other Supreme Court judgment we hold that cites this one.
Counted only in the Supreme Court judgments we hold whose text we could read, not in High Court judgments. We match each citation to a judgment automatically, so a citation we cannot match is not counted. "Cited" says only that a judgment refers to this one, not whether it followed, distinguished or overruled it.
The Court's text
Paragraphs from our copy of the Supreme Court Reports print, with the Court's own paragraph numbers, the printed page and, where printed, the margin letter. The Court did not number this judgment's paragraphs, so they are listed by page. Link to paragraph N with #para-N.
Leave granted. Heard the learned counsel for the parties.
p. 1178, margin F
In our view the High Court should have considered the grievance of the appellant on merits pertaining to his claim for higher special .allowances. Merely because in the earlier writ petition the High Court had provided only for making representation, it would not mean that the matter is closed and the petitioner was not entitled to approach the High Court, later even though the representation was rejected and no relief was granted to him. The High Court never considered the case on merits.
pp. 1178–1179, margin G
We, therefore, allow the appeal and set aside the order passed by the High Court and remand the matter for consideration on merits. R.P. Appeal allowed.
