SARASWATI DEVI GUPTA vs SUDHA RANI

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 objections regarding the appellant's standing during the proceedings, thus precluding such a challenge at the appellate stage. The Court set aside the High Court's judgment and restored the decree of the Lower Appellate Court, awarding costs to the appellant under Section 35A of the Code of Civil Procedure.
