State of U.P. and 3 Others v. Azadar Hussain Rizvi
Case brief
What is this about?
The Court dismissed the special appeal primarily on grounds of limitation (over 252 days delayed). However, ignoring delay, the Court relied on a precedent regarding the government's discretion to fix cut-off dates for service matters, noting such decisions must be reasonable and non-discriminatory.
What did the court decide?
Special appeal dismissed on grounds of being barred by limitation; merits also considered against appellant.
