Ramavilasom Grandhasala And Ors vs N.S.S. Karayogam

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in allowing a second appeal without formulating a substantial question of law as mandated by sub-section (4) of Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court reiterated that the requirement to frame such a question is essential for the High Court to acquire jurisdiction to decide the appeal on merits. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remanded the case for proper consideration after framing the necessary substantial question of law.
