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 matter should be remitted for fresh disposal in accordance with law. The Court emphasized the necessity for the High Court to appoint Amicus Curiae if the appellants remain unrepresented during the hearing. The appeal was disposed of with a request for expedited proceedings given the appellants' incarceration.
