In Brief
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's dismissal of a husband's revision petition in a family law matter. The High Court had dismissed the petition in a single cryptic paragraph without setting out facts, considering the parties' submissions, or assigning reasons. The Court held that revision petitions must be disposed of on merits with proper reasoning, facts, and legal analysis. The case was remanded to the High Court for fresh disposal in accordance with law and within six months, emphasizing that courts cannot dismiss matters without substantive engagement with the issues raised.
