The Supreme Court, with Justices Pamidighantam Sri Narasimha and Joymalya Bagchi presiding, after hearing counsel for both parties, "condoned delay" and declined to interfere with the impugned High Court judgment. The Court expressly "kept open" the question of law involved. Consequently, the Special Leave Petitions were dismissed, and all pending applications were disposed of.
