SC dismissed SLP filed by the department for being a certificate cases filed only to save the skin of defaulting officers


Quick Summary
The Supreme Court has dismissed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by the revenue department against a Gujarat High Court ruling. The Court found the SLP to be a 'certificate case', filed with excessive delay and solely to shield officers responsible for procedural lapses. The department was penalised with costs for wasting judicial time.
