Koppisetty Venkat Ratnam(D) Tr.Lrs vs Pamarti Venkayamma

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the High Court's authority under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, emphasizing that a second appeal must involve a substantial question of law, as mandated by the 1976 Amendment. The Court reiterated that the purpose of limiting second appeals is to maintain judicial finality and uniformity in legal interpretations across the state. The judgment underscored the importance of balancing the pursuit of justice with the need for a definitive legal framework, ultimately holding that the High Court's decision to set aside concurrent findings of fact without a substantial question of law was improper.
