Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Bombay High Court erred in summarily dismissing the appeal of Krishna Vithu Suroshe without a speaking order, despite the presence of arguable questions of law and fact. The Court reiterated that a High Court must provide a reasoned judgment when dismissing appeals that raise such questions, as established in Shaikh Mohd. Ali v. State of Maharashtra and Kapurchand Kesrimal Jain v. State of Maharashtra. The appeal was allowed, and the matter was remanded for reconsideration by the High Court.
