Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court improperly reversed the findings of fact established by the lower courts, as the question posed was not a substantial question of law as required under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court emphasized that the High Court's role is not to reassess evidence but to address legal questions. Consequently, the impugned judgment was set aside, and the appeal was allowed without any order as to costs.
