H.DAVID vs GOPI .

The Supreme Court held that in a second appeal, the High Court must frame a substantial question of law before disposing of the appeal, as mandated by established legal principles. The Court found that the High Court failed to do so in the present case, rendering the order allowing the second appeal invalid. Consequently, the Court set aside the impugned order and remitted the cases back to the High Court for proper consideration of any substantial questions of law and to dispose of the civil revision petition on merits.
