T.N. DIKSHIT vs UNION OF INDIA — C.A. No. 5149/2001

Summary: In Civil Appeal No. 5149 of 2001, the Supreme Court heard the appeal of T.N. Dikshit against the Union of India on October 31, 2007. The appellant's counsel informed the court that the sole appellant had expired, and since this was a service matter intended solely for the appellant's benefit, it could not survive after the appellant's death. The Court disposed of the appeal as infructuous, finding the matter no longer maintainable. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
