In Brief
The Gujarat Water Supply and Sewerage Board challenged a Division Bench decision through a Special Leave Petition. The Supreme Court granted leave and, relying on the decision in Jogendrasinhji Vijaysinghji v. State of Gujarat, set aside the Division Bench judgment. The Court restored the Letters Patent Appeal for fresh consideration on merits before the High Court, with parties directed to appear on a specified date. The civil appeals were allowed without any order on costs.
