In Brief
The Supreme Court considered civil appeals challenging orders passed by the High Court without detailed reasons. The Court held that judicial orders must be accompanied by reasoned explanations to enable parties to understand the decision and facilitate appellate review. Finding the High Court's impugned orders defective for lack of reasons, the Court set them aside and remitted the cases back to the High Court for fresh consideration. The High Court was directed to decide the issues afresh by providing detailed reasons after hearing counsel for both parties, ensuring compliance with principles of natural justice.
