Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order dismissing the appellant's writ petition was unreasoned and lacked necessary discussion on the issues raised, violating principles of judicial reasoning. The Court emphasized that every judicial order must be supported by reasons to ensure transparency and accountability, as established in various precedents including State of Maharashtra vs. Vithal Rao Pritirao Chawan and others. Consequently, the Court set aside the impugned orders and remanded the case to the High Court for a fresh decision on merits in accordance with law.
