Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Andhra Pradesh High Court erred in not framing a substantial question of law as mandated by Section 100 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC) before entertaining the second appeal. The Court emphasized that the question formulated during the hearing was insufficient for justifying interference under Section 100 CPC. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and directed it to frame the necessary substantial questions of law and dispose of the appeal within three months.
