Chandragouda And Anr. vs Shekharagouda S. Pittanagoudar (Dead) ...

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in not formulating a substantial question of law as mandated by Section 100 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC) before proceeding with the second appeal. The Court emphasized that the formulation of such a question is essential for the exercise of jurisdiction under Section 100 CPC. Consequently, the impugned order was set aside, and the case was remanded to the High Court for fresh disposal in accordance with law, maintaining the status quo in the interim.
