H.David vs Gopi And Ors

The Supreme Court held that in a second appeal, the High Court is mandated to frame a substantial question of law before disposing of the appeal, as per established legal principles. The Court found that the High Court failed to do so in the present case, leading to the dismissal of the civil revision petition without reasons. Consequently, the Court set aside the impugned order and remitted both the second appeal and civil revision petition to the High Court for reconsideration, ensuring that the necessary legal procedures are followed.
