Case Summary: C.A. No. 003573/2009 (C.H. BALAMOHAN v. UNION OF INDIA) Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed I.A. No. 5 in Civil Appeal No. 3572/2009 and I.A. No. 3 in Civil Appeal No. 3573/2009 on November 12, 2010. The Union of India's Solicitor General withdrew the primary prayer seeking recall of the May 14, 2009 judgment. The Court rejected the remaining prayer for modification of the May 4, 2010 order, finding the application was filed belatedly and lacked merit regarding claims that the Ministry of Home Affairs was not properly impleaded as a party. Key Direction: The Court clarified that the Union of India is a single legal entity that cannot be fragmented into separate departments for litigation purposes, and therefore the Ministry of Surface Transport's participation adequately represented all Union interests.
