In Brief
A husband challenged the High Court's dismissal of his family court revision petition. The High Court had dismissed the petition in a single cryptic paragraph without setting out facts, considering the parties' submissions, or providing reasoned grounds for dismissal. The Supreme Court held that such perfunctory disposal violates judicial principles and is impermissible. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the revision petition for fresh decision on merits, with reasoned consideration of all relevant facts, legal provisions, and submissions, within six months."
