Case Note & Summary
The Supreme Court of India dealt with Civil Appeal No. 10862 of 2011, where the appellants sought to challenge the decision of the State of Haryana. The court noted that the issues raised in this appeal were identical to those previously considered in Udho Dass v. State of Haryana, Civil Appeal No. 3677 of 2010. The appellants filed a substitution application, for which the court condoned the delay in filing both the substitution application and the Special Leave Petition. The court ultimately decided to dispose of the appeal based on the same observations, conditions, and directions as in the earlier case, thereby affirming the legal principles established in that judgment. The decision was rendered on December 12, 2011, by Justices H.L. Dattu and Chandramauli Kr. Prasad.
