Rajinder Tiwari vs Kedar Nath (Deceased) Through Lrs

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in allowing the defendant's second appeal and dismissing the plaintiff's suit, as the defendant was denied the opportunity to file a written statement and present evidence. The Court emphasized the necessity of a fair trial, stating that the rights of both parties were prejudiced due to insufficient evidence being considered. Consequently, the Court remanded the case to the Trial Court for a fresh trial on merits, ensuring that the defendant could fully participate in the proceedings as per established legal principles.
