Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed the appeal, finding that the High Court had dismissed the First Appeal without providing any reasons or considering all relevant points, which is contrary to the principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that a reasoned decision is essential for proper adjudication, thus restoring the First Appeal No. 813 of 1995 to the High Court for a fresh decision on merits. The Court did not express any opinion on the merits of the case, focusing solely on the procedural inadequacies of the High Court's order.
