Shantha Sinha and Anr vs Union of India and Anr

Bench: 2 — <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

In this writ petition for interim relief, the Court deferred the hearing after finding that similar issues were raised in companion writ petitions. The Court held that applications involving overlapping issues should be heard together to avoid multiplicity of proceedings. The Court ordered that interim applications in the related writ petitions be consolidated and heard together, allowing the Union to file counter affidavits within three weeks and directing that the matter be listed on 27 June 2017 for comprehensive consideration of all aspects.
