Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals against the High Court's order setting aside the Trial Court's decrees in a partition suit under O.S. No. 21 of 2004. The Court held that the appellant-Society was not properly served in the earlier proceedings, thus the ex-parte decrees were set aside. The Court affirmed the necessity for detailed reasoning in judicial orders, leading to the remand of the case for fresh consideration, thereby upholding the principles of natural justice and fair trial under Article 21 of the Constitution.
