Abolition of the Munnar Special Tribunal rendered the reliefs sought in all connected cases infructuous. The court dismissed the cases as infructuous and closed all pending interlocutory applications.
This page shows the compact analysis of this judgement. The full analysis — procedural history, issue-by-issue holdings with ratio and obiter, advocates, and paragraph-level evidence for every claim — is being added to the record in batches and will appear here when this judgement has been through it.
