Cyril Lasrado (Dead) By Lrs. And Ors vs Juliana Maria Lasrado And Anr

The Supreme Court held that the Karnataka High Court's decision to remit a matter to the Land Tribunal without notifying the legal representatives of a deceased party violated principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that Section 48-A of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, 1961 mandates proper representation of parties, especially when a party has died. The Court set aside the High Court's order, ruling that the appellants were entitled to be heard, thus ensuring fair adjudication in accordance with law.
