In Brief
In this civil appeal, the Supreme Court examined an order passed by the High Court in a case involving Ajay Bhatt and the State of Uttarakhand. The Court found that the High Court's order was based on a flawed judgment that had been set aside in a companion civil appeal. Accordingly, the Court allowed the appeal in part, setting aside the impugned order and remitting the matter back to the High Court for fresh consideration in light of the Supreme Court's judgment, taking into account all consequential implications and matters that required examination.
