Reliance on Set-Aside Precedent Invalidates EPF Adjudication | Section 14B EPF Act : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court quashed an EPF Appellate Tribunal order built entirely on a Delhi HC judgment later overturned by the Supreme Court. This ruling establishes that tribunals cannot depend on judicial precedents that have been expressly set aside - reinforcing that binding law must reflect the highest court’s current interpretation, not defunct rulings. Employers and employees alike must now expect adjudications grounded in live, authoritative precedent.
