Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court failed to address the specific question of law in the reference and acted in an appellate capacity rather than as a reviewing authority. The Court directed the High Court to re-hear the reference and provide an answer to the legal question, with or without reframing it. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the High Court's judgment was set aside.
