In Brief
This appeal challenges a High Court order dismissing an eviction writ petition without providing reasons or addressing the parties' submissions. The Supreme Court held that such an unreasoned dismissal violates procedural fairness. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the case for fresh consideration on merits. The High Court was directed to decide the writ petition afresh in accordance with law, uninfluenced by any observations made by the Supreme Court, preferably within six months.
