Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court found that the High Court's judgment in First Appeal No. 339 of 2009 was unsustainable as it failed to consider the submissions made by the appellants and lacked reasoning for its conclusions. The Court held that due process was not followed, necessitating a remand for a decision on merits with an opportunity for all parties to be heard. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the High Court's judgment was set aside.
