Beta, Supreme Court only. We check Supreme Court of India judgments only for now: a High Court citation reads "Not in our corpus", which never means it does not exist.

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.

RAJENDRA BABU, CJ. : In this matter, the constitutional validity ofRule 10(1) of the West Bengal Services (Death-cum-Retirement Benefit) Rules (for short 'the Rules') is involved and the High Court has held that the same is utra vires the Constitution and that conducting the departmental enquiry against the respondent after his retirement was also held to be ultra vires the Constitution.

p. 782, margin B

This Court, by an order made on 1.5.1998, while granting leave on the question of vires of Rule 10 of the Rules, directed that even if this appeal succeeds the benefit available to respondent No. I in accordance with the judgment of the High Court will not be recalled and the appellant shall make available to respondent No. 1 all the arrears, if any, payable as per the impugned order of the High Court within the stipulated time.

p. 782, margin D

Now the sole question for consideration is the validity of Rule 10(1) of the Rules. The same involves larger question arising as to the question of the West Bengal (Classification, Control and Operation) Rules, 1971 and sub-rule ( 1) of Rule 10 of the said Rules. As such questions may often arise affecting a large number of employees, we think it appropriate to refer this matter to a larger bench. · S.K.S. Referred to the Larger Bench
