In Brief
Four appellants challenged a High Court order dismissing a writ appeal. The appellants were not parties to the original writ petitions or the appeal that led to the impugned order, nor did they seek to be added as party respondents. The Supreme Court held that non-parties lack standing to challenge orders that have attained finality between the actual parties, especially when those parties have not themselves appealed. The Court declined to examine the merits and disposed of the appeal without deciding the substantive issues.
