PRABHJOT SINGH MAND Vs. BHAGWANT SINGH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) LEAVE is granted in all the SLPs. The Union of India and the Union Public Service Commission are parties before us. Although the Union of India has filed counter affidavit, nobody has appeared on its behalf. The Union Public Service Commission is represented by Ms. Binu Tamta.

(2.) HEARD the learned counsel for the parties quite at length. As all these appeals are preferred against the interim orders passed by the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh, being orders dated 25/03/2008, 03/04/2008 and 10/04/2008 and having regard to the fact that a large number of contentions have been raised before us, we are of the opinion that the operative portion of the judgment may be pronounced here and now. Detailed reasons therefor, however, would be assigned later on.
