Plain English Summary
Directs the High Court to hear appearing parties, determine the referred point of law, and transmit an authenticated copy of its judgment under the Registrar's signature to the referring court, which must dispose of the case in strict conformity therewith.
Key Legal Elements
- Hearing Parties: High Court affords opportunity of hearing to appearing parties or their counsel.
- Pure Legal Adjudication: High Court confines itself to the question of law referred, accepting the factual statement.
- Transmission under Registrar's Signature: Formal authenticated copy transmitted to the subordinate court.
- Absolute Conformance: The subordinate court has no discretion to depart from the High Court's ruling.
Practical Note
Advisory Nature and Binding Effect of Reference Judgment: 1. Consultative Jurisdiction: The High Court's jurisdiction under Rule 3 is consultative and advisory in form, but strictly binding in effect upon the referring court. The subordinate court cannot reopen the legal issue or express disagreement with the High Court's ruling. 2. Conforming Disposal: Upon receiving the Registrar's transmitted copy, the trial court formally reconvenes the proceedings and delivers its final executable judgment in exact conformity with the High Court's pronouncement.
