Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the appellant's second appeal without framing any substantial question of law, as required under the provisions of the Civil Procedure Code. The Court restored the decrees of the Trial Court and the First Appellate Court, affirming the appellant's ownership of the property in dispute. The judgment emphasized the necessity for the High Court to properly assess jurisdictional issues under the Hyderabad Houses (Rent, Eviction and Lease) Control Act, 1954 before dismissing appeals.
