SUDHIR KUMAR . vs UNION OF INDIA — C.A. No. 3898/2001

On May 12, 2001, the Supreme Court allowed Sudhir Kumar's appeal against the Union of India, challenging a High Court of Patna order from 1998. The Court condoned the delay in filing the Special Leave Petition and granted leave to appeal. The Court modified the original order, directing the Union of India to pay Rs. 2 lacs as compensation to the appellants, finding this amount reasonable and fair given the facts and circumstances. No order as to costs was imposed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
