Supreme Court Dismisses Appeal Due to Tax Effect; Leaves Question of Law Open for Future Review.
The SC dismissed the appeal, citing no useful purpose in entertaining it due to the tax effect. The question of law raised in the appeal remains open for future consideration.
Having regard to the tax effect, "this Court is of the opinion that no useful purpose will be served in entertaining the appeal. It is, however, made clear that question of law sought to be urged is kept open." On that basis the appeal is dismissed: "The appeal is dismissed in the above terms." The order declines to adjudicate the substantive controversy owing to predominating tax consequences, while explicitly preserving the substantive legal question for future consideration. No factual findings or adjudication on merits were undertaken; the dismissal is procedural and confined to the present tax-impact context.
