Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the appellant's second appeal and application for amendment under Order 6 Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, as it involved substantial questions of law regarding land ownership and possession under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court emphasized that the appellant's claims regarding the fraudulent acquisition of Bhumidhari Sanad by the respondent warranted further examination. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's orders and remanded the matter for fresh consideration.
