In Brief
The Supreme Court set aside Division Bench judgments from the Rajasthan High Court that had dismissed the appellants' intra-court appeals without any reasoned discussion of the issues or findings on the parties' submissions. The Court held that an appellate order cannot be sustained when it fails to address the contentions raised or provide reasoning for its decision. The matter was remanded to the High Court to reconsider the appeals afresh on their merits with proper analysis and written findings, directed to be completed within six months.
