Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's piecemeal disposal of the appeal was unjustified, as it should have addressed all issues raised by the parties simultaneously. The Court emphasized the need for comprehensive adjudication in appeals to ensure fairness and proper legal process. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, the impugned order was set aside, and the matter was remitted to the High Court for a complete hearing in accordance with law.
