The Supreme Court held that the High Court's disposal of the Letters Patent Appeal as infructuous was not in accordance with its earlier order dated 11th February 2005, which mandated the High Court to consider the appeal on merits. The Court emphasized that the High Court failed to adhere to the directive to dispose of the matter expeditiously and in accordance with law. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter back for proper consideration of the appeal.
