(iii) cases disposed of by the High Court by a judgment, decree or final order, where a certificate under clause (a) or (b) has been applied for, but the application for the certificate is pending on that date;
(iv) cases disposed of by the High Court before that date, where a certificate under clause (a) or (b) has been obtained, but the appeal to the Supreme Court has not been actually filed;
(v) cases in which, not only a certificate has been granted under clause (a) or (b), but also an appeal has been filed and is pending in the Supreme Court on that date.
