Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the High Court cannot correct errors of fact or law unless they pertain to the jurisdiction of the court. The Court found that the Additional District Judge had not exceeded his jurisdiction in staying proceedings under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act pending the appeal. The High Court's orders were deemed to have violated the principles of natural justice, leading to the appeal being allowed and the High Court's orders set aside.
