GOBIND RAM SHARMA vs PRAMOD KUMAR SINGHANIA .

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) by reopening the entire suit and not confining its judgment to the substantial questions of law formulated. The Court emphasized that the High Court must adhere to the provisions of sub-sections (4) and (5) of Section 100 CPC, which require it to limit its review to substantial questions of law and provide an opportunity for the respondent to be heard if new questions are formulated. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remitted the matter for fresh consideration.
