Pakeerappa Rai vs Seethamma (Dead) By Lrs And Ors.

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the first Appellate Court which found that the auction purchaser was not a stranger to the suit, based on evidence presented during the trial. The Court clarified that under Section 100 CPC, the High Court cannot interfere with findings of fact unless there is a substantial question of law. Additionally, the Court ruled that the first Appellate Court's conclusion regarding the pronote (Ex.A-39) being a sham document was not erroneous as there were no allegations in the plaint to that effect, thus affirming the lower court's decision.
