Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in not recognizing substantial questions of law arising from the appeal regarding the inheritance of property by Pokhani from her husband Bifan Ram, specifically whether Bifan Ram was indeed the last male holder of the property. The Court found that the trial court's findings were based on an error of record and misappreciation of evidence, necessitating a remand to the High Court for fresh consideration of the substantial questions of law identified. The appeal was allowed, and the impugned order was set aside, directing the High Court to frame and decide the questions afresh.
