Held

The Court held that the present appeal (CEA No.175/2019) is disposed of in terms of the detailed order passed in CEA No.05/2018. This implies that the outcome of CEA No.175/2019 is contingent upon and identical to the decision in CEA No.05/2018. The reasoning and ratio decidendi would therefore be those established in the latter case. The operative directions would be those specified in the order for CEA No.05/2018. No issues were expressly left undecided in this judgment, as it deferred to the prior order.
