Smt Doomakka v. the State of Karnataka
Case brief
What is this about?
Petitioners approached the High Court under Articles 226 and 227 to quash an order of the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal and a Deputy Commissioner. The Court found a gross error in the Tribunal's order, which was based on a factual premise that a prior order, having been set aside, was still in existence. Consequently, the Court set aside the impugned order.
What did the court decide?
Issuance of a Writ of Certiorari quashing the impugned order; matter remitted to the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal for fresh disposal on merits within six months.
