VICTOR OIL COMPANY PVT. LTD. vs E.C. BOSE & COMPANY PVT. LTD.

The Supreme Court upheld the stay on the Calcutta High Court's order to implead the Calcutta Port Trust in an ongoing suit, emphasizing that allowing such impleadment would disrupt the nearly concluded trial. The Court noted that no useful purpose would be served by introducing the Calcutta Port Trust at this stage, and directed the trial court to expedite the disposal of the case. The appeal was thus disposed of, maintaining the status quo established by the interim order.
