Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed the appeal against the Kerala High Court's Division Bench order, which lacked a reasoned and speaking judgment. The Court held that the Division Bench failed to apply its mind to the matter, necessitating a remand for fresh disposal in accordance with law. The Court emphasized the importance of reasoned judgments in upholding judicial accountability and clarity.
