Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in granting relief based on easementary rights without proper pleadings or issues raised in the trial. The Court emphasized that a court cannot decide on matters not pleaded and cannot grant relief not claimed, violating fundamental rules of civil procedure. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, and the matter was remanded for fresh consideration in accordance with the law.
