Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, a High Court must formulate a substantial question of law before reversing a lower court's decision. The Court emphasized that the High Court's jurisdiction is limited to appeals involving substantial questions of law and cannot interfere with findings of fact. The judgment of the Himachal Pradesh High Court was set aside as it failed to adhere to these procedural requirements, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
