Remand for fresh adjudication in light of Safari Retreats precedent, with proposed retrospective amendment still unenacted.

The Supreme Court set aside the impugned judgment and restored the writ petition to the High Court for fresh adjudication in light of M/s Safari Retreats Private Ltd. The Court noted the respondents' objection based on a proposed retrospective amendment, but that amendment had not yet been enacted. The matter was therefore remanded so the High Court could decide the writ petition in accordance with the governing precedent and the relevant observations in that decision.

Issues: Whether the impugned judgment was liable to be set aside and the writ petition restored for fresh adjudication in light of the decision in M/s Safari Retreats Private Ltd. and the observations therein.

Analysis: The order records that the prayer for remand was considered in the context of the later decision in M/s Safari Retreats Private Ltd. and the respondents' objection based on a proposed retrospective amendment, which had not yet been enacted. In that backdrop, the impugned judgment was set aside and the writ petition was restored to the High Court for adjudication in accordance with the said decision and the relevant observations therein.

Conclusion: The matter was remanded to the High Court for fresh adjudication in terms of the governing precedent.
