STATE OF H P vs RAM LAL SHARMA — C.A. No. 1460/2026

Summary The Supreme Court allowed Himachal Pradesh's appeal and set aside the High Court's interim stay on shifting the State Commission for Backward Classes office from Shimla to Dharamshala. The Court held that relocating an institute's headquarters is primarily a policy matter with limited justiciability unless it directly affects constitutional or civil rights. The State is now free to proceed with the relocation subject to the final outcome of pending High Court proceedings; the Commission must file its counter-affidavit within four weeks, with rejoinders due two weeks thereafter.
