Gurdev Kaur & Ors vs Kaki & Ors

The Supreme Court emphasized the need for judges to adhere strictly to the provisions of law, particularly regarding Section 100 C.P.C., which limits interference in second appeals to cases with substantial questions of law. The Court held that the Punjab & Haryana High Court's decision to set aside concurrent findings of fact was improper, as it did not align with the legislative intent behind Section 100 C.P.C. The appeal was allowed, restoring the status quo regarding the property mutation in favor of Bhagwan Kaur, the deceased's second wife, pending further proceedings.
