R.J. SHAH & CO vs H.P. STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD — C.A. No. 5593/1997

The Supreme Court set aside the Delhi High Court's dismissal of R.J. Shah & Co's appeal, finding that the High Court erroneously relied on an overruled precedent (Hafiz Mohd. Said's case) instead of applying the binding ruling in Jugal Kishore Paliwal v. S. Sat Jit Singh, which permits Letters Patent appeals even in ordinary original jurisdiction cases. The Court remanded the matter for reconsideration in light of the correct legal principles. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
