Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in allowing the Second Appeal without formulating substantial questions of law as mandated by Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court emphasized that the High Court must frame such questions before deciding the appeal on merits. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remitted the case for fresh disposal, ensuring compliance with procedural requirements.
