R.J. Shah & Co vs H.P. State Electricity Board

The Supreme Court held that the Letters Patent of the High Court of Judicature at Lahore is not applicable in Himachal Pradesh, and thus no appeal under Clause 9 or Clause 10 of the Letters Patent can be maintained. The Court clarified that the impugned order does not fall under Order 43 Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, and therefore, the appeal was dismissed. The judgment emphasized the historical context of the jurisdictional changes affecting the High Court's powers in Himachal Pradesh.
