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 made without giving the respondents an opportunity to be heard, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized the necessity of a reasoned judgment and remanded the case back to the High Court for fresh disposal, instructing it to provide a hearing to all parties involved. The appeal was allowed, and the impugned order was set aside, with no costs awarded.
