Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the concurrent findings of fact recorded by the trial court and the appellate court in a Second Appeal under Section 100 CPC. The Court emphasized that a Second Appeal can only be entertained on substantial questions of law, not on re-appreciation of evidence or findings of fact. The Court reinstated the trial court's decree for permanent injunction regarding the disputed land measuring 4 acres out of 11 acres and 99 cents, affirming that the defendant had admitted the extent of the suit property in his written statement.
