Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's first appeal under Section 96 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 was cryptic and failed to address the factual details and legal principles relevant to the case. The Court emphasized that the High Court must provide a reasoned judgment that considers the evidence presented. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remanded the matter for fresh consideration, ensuring that all issues are adequately addressed.
