Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's judgment reversing the Appellate Court's decree for specific performance was flawed as it was delivered in the absence of representation for the respondents, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized the necessity of providing an opportunity for all parties to be heard before a decision is made, thereby setting aside the High Court's order and remanding the case for fresh disposal with a directive for timely resolution. The appeal was allowed, restoring the matter to the High Court for proper adjudication.
