Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court remanded the matter to the High Court for fresh disposal, emphasizing that the dismissal of the revision petition by Justice S.N. Dhingra was against the principles of natural justice due to his prior recusal from the case. The Court reiterated that a judge must act impartially and without bias, citing the principle established in Manak Lal v. Dr. Prem Chand Singhvi, AIR 1957 SC 425. The Court held that the earlier recusal should have been disclosed, and the failure to do so compromised the fairness of the judicial process.
