Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the High Court correctly exercised its powers under Article 227 to set aside an order allowing the appellant's application under Order IX Rule 13 of the CPC. The appellant, M/s Garment Craft, contended that the High Court's decision was unjustified given the circumstances surrounding the appellant's inability to present evidence due to the proprietor's arrest. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of the appellant, reinstating the order allowing the application.
