Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in remanding the case for fresh decision, as the trial court had already framed issues regarding the identification of the property and made findings on them. The Court noted that the High Court failed to recognize that the issues concerning the suit schedule property were already addressed. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and restored the appeal for a decision on merits, emphasizing that no opinion was expressed on the merits of the case.
