Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed multiple special leave petitions concerning the interpretation of procedural rules under the Civil Procedure Code, specifically focusing on the admissibility of evidence and the principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that adherence to procedural fairness is paramount, and any deviation could lead to a miscarriage of justice. The petitions were allowed, and the lower court's decisions were set aside, reinforcing the necessity of following due process in judicial proceedings.
