The Supreme Court addressed multiple civil appeals arising from various lower court judgments, emphasizing the importance of adherence to procedural norms under the Civil Procedure Code. The Court reiterated that the principles of natural justice must be upheld in all proceedings, particularly in cases involving significant rights.
