In Brief
Eastern Coalfields Ltd appealed against a decision involving Bibhas Chandra Bakshi, who had retired from service in 1996. The Court found the appeals unfit for interference given the peculiar facts—specifically, that the respondent had already retired over two decades prior, making court intervention impractical. The Court dismissed both appeals while declining to set a precedent and leaving the underlying legal question open for future cases.
