In Brief
The Supreme Court considered appeals by the Belgaum Urban Development Authority challenging High Court orders. The High Court had passed its orders without providing any reasoned judgment. The Supreme Court, finding this deficiency, set aside the High Court's orders and remitted all cases back for fresh consideration. The Court directed the High Court to redecide the matters after providing detailed reasons and giving counsel for both parties a proper hearing, emphasizing the constitutional requirement that judicial decisions be accompanied by reasoned explanations.
