The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the addition of Gulf Petroleum FZC as a defendant in an Admiralty Suit initiated by Banque Cantonale De Geneve. The court found that the High Court's decision to allow the addition was justified based on the circumstances of the case, emphasizing the importance of ensuring all relevant parties are included in maritime disputes. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's ruling, affirming the procedural correctness of the addition of parties in the context of admiralty law.
