In Brief
The State of West Bengal challenged a Tribunal order that had set aside the entire Sub-Inspector recruitment process following height discrimination complaints by candidates. The High Court refused to stay the Tribunal's order. The Supreme Court granted interim relief, staying both the Tribunal's order and the High Court's decision, and directed the High Court to expeditiously dispose of the writ petition within six months. The Court did not decide the merits of the discrimination claims, focusing instead on procedural management of the conflicting interim orders.
