Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court criticized the Bombay High Court's Division Bench for its cryptic judgment in Appeal No. 581 of 2006, which failed to provide necessary facts and reasoning. The Court emphasized that even in affirming judgments, the appellate court must demonstrate independent reasoning and not merely act as a rubber stamp. The appeal was decided on merits without remanding the case, highlighting the importance of proper judicial reasoning as mandated under the principles of natural justice.
