Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the procedural irregularities in the High Court's handling of a Public Interest Litigation concerning the Chitai Golu Devta Temple. The court found that the High Court had failed to hear the Appellant and did not decide on her application for impleadment, which constituted a violation of principles of natural justice. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and directed that the matter be reconsidered with due process.
