Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of judicial discipline in the context of injunction orders, emphasizing that a judge must respect prior injunctions issued by subordinate courts. The Court held that the Principal District Judge's order granting a temporary injunction in favor of the plaintiffs was unjustified, as it contradicted existing injunctions favoring the defendants. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the District Judge's order, reinforcing the principle that judicial authority must be exercised with respect for established orders and the rule of law.
