A.K. Sharma vs Chairman/M.D., Hpgcl & Ors

The Supreme Court held that under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the High Court is mandated to formulate and record substantial questions of law before admitting a second appeal. In this case, the High Court failed to do so, leading to the Supreme Court setting aside the impugned order and remitting the matter back for fresh consideration. The Court emphasized that the High Court may also frame additional questions of law as necessary while deciding the appeal.
