V. Ramaswamy vs Ramachandran & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the Madras High Court's judgment allowing a second appeal under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, was invalid as it failed to formulate a substantial question of law, which is a prerequisite for such appeals. The Court emphasized that the High Court's jurisdiction under Section 100 is limited to cases involving substantial questions of law and cannot interfere with pure questions of fact. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remitted the matter for proper proceedings in accordance with law.
