Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Punjab and Haryana High Court erred in allowing a 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 on the merits of the appeal. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remitted the case for fresh disposal, ensuring compliance with procedural requirements.
