Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the concurrent findings of fact by lower courts, emphasizing that such findings warrant no interference unless there is a substantial error in law or procedure. The Court reiterated the principle that the appellate court should respect the factual conclusions drawn by the trial court unless they are manifestly erroneous. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the decisions of the lower courts.
