In Brief
The State of Rajasthan challenged a High Court interim order directing it to re-employ a respondent as Coordinator under the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act. The State argued re-employment must be on contract basis, matching the original appointment. The Supreme Court declined to decide the merits while the underlying writ petition remained pending in the High Court. Instead, it requested the High Court to dispose of the matter expeditiously within three months. The interim order remained in effect pending such disposal.
