Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Division Bench of the High Court erred in reversing the Single Judge's order without providing notice or an opportunity to the appellant to be heard, violating principles of natural justice. The Court set aside the impugned order and remitted the matter back to the Division Bench for a fresh decision in accordance with law, to be completed within three months. The appeal was allowed accordingly, with no order as to costs.
