Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court emphasizes the importance of the rule of law and the judiciary's role in resolving disputes through legal processes rather than force or numbers. The judgment underscores that every individual, regardless of status, is subject to the law and courts, which are essential for maintaining constitutional democracy and public faith. The case involves multiple appeals challenging a High Court judgment, with the Court consolidating the issues for a common decision. The Court highlights the significance of respecting judicial authority and the rule of law in a pluralist society.
