We are with Dr Venugopal, says Supreme Court
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The Bench which was inclined towards the arguments of Venugopal, however, said there was âdifficultyâ in staying the operation of the law passed by Parliament.
"Was there any necessity of bringing the amendment at this stage," the court asked when the Centre justified its act by saying Venugopal was on contractual appointment and it was addressing the concern of Delhi High Court which wanted that the ambiguity in the appointment be removed by way of regulation or a statute.
The Bench's annoyance over the turn of the events was further evident at the fag end of an hour-long hearing when it said "on the facts of the case we are with Venugopal."
