Binding precedent under Kasinka Trading principles in challenge to earlier judgment, leading to judgment set aside and appeals allowed.
The dominant issue was whether the impugned judgment could stand in light of binding SC precedent on the applicable legal principles. Applying the ratio in Kasinka Trading v. Union of India as controlling, the SC held that the controversy was governed by those settled principles and did not warrant a fresh merits reappraisal. The impugned judgment was therefore set aside and the appeals were allowed, with each side directed to bear its own costs.
The Supreme Court allowed the appeals "in view of the principles laid down" in *Kasinka Trading v. Union of India* (1994 ECR 637 (SC)). On that basis, it set aside the judgment under appeal, treating the earlier Supreme Court precedent as controlling on the issues raised. The order reflects application of binding precedent rather than an independent reappraisal of facts or a detailed merits analysis: the outcome follows from the governing "principles" already settled by the Court. The Court consequently overturned the impugned decision and directed that "Each party will bear their own costs," thereby disposing of the matter without awarding costs to either side.
