Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to allow three applications under Order XLI Rule 27 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908, permitting the introduction of additional evidence in the trial Court. The Court emphasized that the High Court was justified in relegating the parties back to the trial Court for a fresh decision based on this new evidence, as it was essential for a fair adjudication of the case. The appeal was disposed of with directions for expedited proceedings in the trial Court.
