R. RAMACHANDRAN AYYAR vs RAMALINGAM CHETTIAR

The Supreme Court held that under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, the High Court cannot interfere with findings of fact made by the first appellate court unless there is a substantial error or defect in procedure. The Court ruled that the High Court's interference was unjustified as the issues were purely factual and the first appellate court's findings were supported by evidence. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the first appellate court's decision and highlighting the binding nature of its findings on the High Court.
