Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in disposing of a Second Appeal under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 without formulating a substantial question of law, as mandated by the statute. The Court emphasized that the High Court must state the substantial question involved and hear the appeal based on that question. Consequently, the Court restored the trial Court's decree, reversing the High Court's judgment for failing to comply with the procedural requirements of Section 100 CPC.
