In Brief
This case addresses the High Court's dismissal of appeals filed by the appellants. The Supreme Court found that the High Court had committed a jurisdictional error when deciding the respondents' application. The Court held that such errors necessitate remand to the High Court. The judgment emphasizes the importance of High Courts properly considering and deciding appeals on their merits rather than dismissing them without substantive examination of the issues raised by the parties.
