Sri. Rev Father a. Thomas v. the Principal Secretary
Case brief
What is this about?
A single judge of the Karnataka High Court allowed a writ petition filed under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution. The court held that since a similar litigant was granted relief in a cognate proceeding, the same relief must be extended to the petitioner to ensure like cases are treated alike, setting aside the impugned order.
What did the court decide?
The impugned order is set aside and the relief granted to the litigant in the cognate writ petition is extended to the petitioner.
