Sundaraneedi Satyanarayana & Anr vs Arigala Venkataratnam & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in considering the validity of a sale deed executed after a notice demanding partition was issued by the plaintiff, as this question was not raised in the Trial Court and constituted a mixed question of fact and law. The Court emphasized that such issues cannot be introduced for the first time in a second appeal under Section 100 CPC. Consequently, the Supreme Court reversed the High Court's judgment, restoring the decree of the Lower Appellate Court.
