Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order allowing the respondent's writ petition lacked reasoning and thus set aside the impugned order. The Court emphasized that every judicial or quasi-judicial order must be supported by reasons to ensure transparency and accountability. Consequently, the case was remanded to the High Court for a fresh decision on merits, in accordance with law, as the previous order did not adequately address the issues or submissions presented.
