Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that an order for transfer of a suit under clause 13 of the Letters Patent of the Calcutta High Court does not constitute a 'judgment' as defined in clause 15, and therefore, is not appealable. The Court emphasized that such an order does not affect the merits of the case or dispose of the suit. The judgment clarified the interpretation of 'judgment' in the context of the Letters Patent, thereby upholding the High Court's dismissal of the appeal.
