Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, the High Court can only interfere with findings of fact when a substantial question of law is involved. The Court found that the High Court's interference was unwarranted as it relied solely on the non-discussion of the scribe's evidence without establishing a substantial question of law. The Court upheld the lower appellate court's decision that the appellant had valid title to the property based on a registered sale deed, and the suit for specific performance was barred due to the lack of a genuine executant's right to dispose of the property.
