Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 100 C.P.C., emphasizing that judges must adhere to legislative intent and avoid indiscriminate interference in second appeals. The Court held that the Punjab & Haryana High Court's decision to set aside concurrent findings of fact regarding the validity of a Will was improper, as it did not involve a substantial question of law. Consequently, the Supreme Court restored the status quo regarding the property mutation in favor of Bhagwan Kaur, affirming the need for adherence to the scope of Section 100 C.P.C.
