KUSHUMA DEVI vs SHEOPATI DEVI( DEAD)

Bench: 2 — Abhay Manohar Sapre, Dinesh Maheshwari

In Brief

Kushuma Devi sought eviction of respondents from premises. The Civil Judge decreed eviction, but the appellate court reversed this. Kushuma filed a writ petition in the High Court, which dismissed it without reasoned discussion. The Supreme Court held that any judicial order must contain detailed reasons for its conclusion. The High Court's bare dismissal without addressing issues or parties' submissions was legally untenable. The Court allowed the appeals, set aside the High Court's orders, and remanded the matter for fresh consideration with proper reasoning and merits-based disposal."
