In Brief
A.K. Mishra sought special leave to appeal against a High Court order regarding his administrative jurisdiction. The Supreme Court found that Mishra is authorized to act only in nine districts, not across all districts. For the remaining nine districts, the Court made an interim arrangement allowing the duties of the 8th Respondent to be discharged by either the Managing Director or Joint Managing Director, pending further hearing. The interim order preserved both parties' substantive rights for final determination of the dispute.
