Case Note & Summary
The case involved multiple civil appeals filed by the Union of India and others against K. Gurudasan and others. During the pendency of these appeals, the Supreme Court noted that a similar question had been addressed by a Constitution Bench in the case of M. Nagaraj & Ors. Vs. Union of India & Ors. The Constitution Bench's conclusions, specifically in paragraphs 121 and 122, rendered the current appeals infructuous. Consequently, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeals as they no longer required adjudication, aligning with the precedent established by the Constitution Bench.
