In Brief
In this appeal, the Supreme Court found that the High Court had issued an unreasoned order granting the employee pensionary benefits without properly discussing or addressing the substantive issues raised in the writ petition. The Court held that such unreasoned orders are deficient. Accordingly, the matter was remanded to the High Court for fresh consideration and decision on merits, keeping in view the Supreme Court's observations. The Court urged the High Court to dispose of the case expeditiously within six months, noting the considerable age of the proceedings.
