Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order dismissing the appeal due to the absence of representation for the appellants, holding that the principles of natural justice necessitate that the matter be remitted for fresh disposal. The Court emphasized the need for the High Court to appoint Amicus Curiae if the appellants remain unrepresented, ensuring fair legal representation. The appeal was disposed of with a request for expedited proceedings given the appellants' incarceration.
