CHILAKAMARTHI MOHANA RAO vs PATIBANDA SOMA SUNDARA RAO

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in disposing of the Second Appeal without formulating a substantial question of law as mandated by Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Court emphasized that the High Court's jurisdiction is confined to appeals involving substantial questions of law, referencing Ishwar Dass Jain v. Sohan Lal and Roop Singh v. Ram Singh. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remanded the matter for fresh disposal by the trial court.
