Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court determined that the High Court erred in entertaining a second appeal as there was no substantial question of law presented, as required under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Court restored the decrees of the Trial Court and the First Appellate Court, emphasizing the necessity of a substantial question for the High Court's jurisdiction in second appeals. Consequently, the civil appeals were allowed with no order as to costs.
