Paramjit Singh vs State Of Punjab & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's judgment in Regular Second Appeal No.3876 of 1997 was unsustainable as it failed to frame a substantial question of law as required under Section 100 CPC. Citing Gian Dass vs. Gram Panchayat and C.A. Sulaiman & Ors. vs. State Bank of Travancore, the Court emphasized that without such formulation, the appeal cannot be adjudicated. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the case for fresh consideration on merits, mandating the formulation of a substantial question of law within six months.
