Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the dismissal of a complaint case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, which was dismissed for default by the trial court and not restored by the High Court. The Court found that the High Court erred in refusing to restore the complaint and emphasized the interest of justice in reinstating the case. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the orders of the High Court and the trial court and restored the complaint case for adjudication.
