Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellate court erred in not restoring Title Appeal No.39 of 1984, which had been dismissed for non-prosecution. The Court emphasized the necessity of providing an opportunity for hearing to the parties involved before dismissing an appeal. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, the impugned orders were set aside, and the Title Appeal was restored to its original file, with a directive to dispose of it within one year.
