SUNDARANEEDI SATYANARAYANA vs ARIGALA VENKATARATNAM .

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 appeal was allowed, the High Court's judgment was set aside, and the decree of the Lower Appellate Court was restored.
