Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's orders dismissing the application for restoration of appeal in O.S. No.50/1986, emphasizing that the absence of counsel was due to non-marking of the case in the cause list. The Court held that the High Court should have restored the appeal while imposing heavy costs on the appellants. The appeal was restored with a directive for the appellants to pay rupees fifty thousand as costs to the respondents within eight weeks, and the High Court was urged to expedite the disposal of the case.
