Judgment text excerpt
The case involves an appeal against a High Court order dismissing an application for restoration of an appeal that had been dismissed for default. The appellant sought to restore a challenge against a District Court's order which had dismissed an appeal as abated due to the failure to bring legal representatives on record in time. The Supreme Court examines whether the High Court erred by considering the merits of the case while deciding a procedural application for restoration.
