Gopali Mandal vs The State Of Bihar And Ors. on 4 May, 2005
13. It appears that the judgment rendered by the Division Bench in the case of Ram Narain Singh and Ors. v. State of Bihar and Ors. (supra) was not noticed much less considered in these two judgments. It is the settled law that when subsequent decision does not show consideration of the law laid down by the earlier decision, then the subsequent decision is per incurium. That apart, in these two judgments, the learned Judges proceeded on the assumption that the order was passed under sub-section (10) of Section 48E of the Act, and came to conclusion that no appeal would lie. As stated above, no final order is passed under sub-section (10) and after withdrawal of the case the final order is passed under sub-section (8) of Section 48E of the Act.
