Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's jurisdiction under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure is limited to formulating and determining substantial questions of law. The Court found that the High Court failed to comply with this requirement in allowing the Second Appeal, as it did not consider whether the formulated questions were substantial. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment, allowed the Second Appeal, and remitted the matter for fresh consideration, urging expeditious disposal within six months.
