Pendyala Satyanarayana vs Kotha China Veerabhadrarao

The Supreme Court emphasized that the provisions of Section 45 of the Indian Evidence Act must be considered when evaluating expert testimony, which should remain intact despite rigorous cross-examination.

Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remitted the case for fresh consideration with appropriate questions of law framed.
