Chandra Kanta Sinha vs Oriental Insurance Company Ltd. & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the maintainability of Letters Patent Appeal No. 599 of 1998 against the order of a learned Single Judge of the Patna High Court. The Court held that the appeal was maintainable under Clause 10 of the Letters Patent of Patna, which allows appeals from judgments of a Single Judge unless specifically excluded. The Court overturned the High Court's decision that dismissed the appeal as not maintainable, thereby allowing the Letters Patent Appeal to proceed.
