Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to reverse the Trial Court's decree in a partition suit without providing an opportunity for hearing to the parties was improper. The Court emphasized the necessity of a fair hearing as mandated by principles of natural justice. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the matter for fresh disposal, ensuring both parties are heard.
