Review Petition Allowed | Writ Disposed on Stayed Precedent Must Be Restored for Merits: MP HC Jabalpur

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has restored a service dispute writ petition after finding it was wrongly disposed of based on a Division Bench judgment subsequently stayed by the Supreme Court. This ruling reinforces that courts cannot rely on precedents under interim stay, ensuring litigants get a merits-based hearing and preventing procedural injustice in government employment cases.
