SC held that an order becomes a precedent only if it decides a question of law with reasons, and that unreasoned directions of regularisation in prior cases could not be relied upon as binding authority. SC further held that while HC enjoys judicial discretion under writ jurisdiction, such discretion is limited to refusing or declining relief on proper grounds and does not extend to granting relief solely on perceived interests of justice. The impugned HC order was set aside and the appeal allowed. en-us Fri, 20 Dec 1991 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 09 Dec 2025 11:57:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=40157 SC examined the legality of an HC order directing continuation and de facto regularisation of part-time lecturers until regular appointments were made, with salary during vacation.
