Saraswati Devi Gupta vs Sudha Rani & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, as an assignee of the decree holder, had the locus standi to appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the review petition. The Court emphasized that the respondent did not raise any objection regarding the appellant's standing before the High Court, thus precluding them from doing so at the Supreme Court level. The Court set aside the High Court's order and restored the decree of the Lower Appellate Court, awarding costs to the appellant under the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure, specifically Order 21 Rule 16.
