Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Appellant should be given another opportunity to lead evidence, as the denial of this right was deemed unjust. The Court set aside the trial Court's order that closed the Appellant's evidence, emphasizing the importance of allowing parties to present their case fully. The appeal was disposed of with a direction to the trial Court to permit the Appellant to lead evidence, and costs of Rs. 500 were imposed on the Appellant.
