Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to remand the case to the Trial Court for a fresh trial on merits, stating that the Trial Court had not properly addressed the issues in the case. The Court noted that the defendants had been served and remained ex parte, leading to an ex parte decree which was later set aside. The Court emphasized that a fair trial necessitates a complete examination of the evidence and issues, thus affirming the High Court's remand order under the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.
