Mohindra Hire Purchase vs Jarnail Singh

The Court emphasized that the High Court is required to indicate reasons when denying such applications, as per the provisions of Section 378. The appeal was allowed, and the matter was remanded for reconsideration by the High Court with directions to provide adequate reasoning.
