Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' petition under Article 226 of the Constitution was improper, as the petition raised no complicated questions of fact and was not frivolous or vexatious. The Court emphasized that a party aggrieved by the actions of a public body is entitled to a hearing on the merits, especially when the claim appears prima facie unjust. The case was remanded to the High Court for reconsideration and proper adjudication according to law.
