In Brief
In this 2016 case, the Supreme Court addressed procedural irregularities in a High Court's handling of a Second Appeal. The High Court had decided the appeal at the admission stage without hearing the appellant, and certain incorrect facts had been recorded. The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment, restored the appeal to its original status, and remanded it for fresh hearing and decision after both parties could present their arguments. The civil appeal was disposed of as allowed with no order for costs.
