Court: Supreme Court of India

Citation: C. Channabasavaih V. State of Mysore (1965)

Honourable Supreme Court of India has held that Hon’ble Courts while deciding the cases should only be concerned with the equality and equal protection before the law. The Hon’ble Courts should not be trifled with inconvenience to any party with the decisions of the judiciary.

12. It is very unfortunate that these persons should be uprooted after they had been appointed but if equality and equal protection before the law have any meaning and if our public institutions are to inspire that confidence which is expected of them we would be failing in our duty if we did not, even at the cost of considerable inconvenience to Government and the selected candidates do the right thing.

If any blame for the inconvenience is to be placed it certainly cannot be placed upon the petitioning candidates, the candidates whom this order displaces or this Court. With these observations we allow the petitions to the extent indicated above with one set of hearing fee.
