Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision in Second Appeal No.1618 of 1998 violated Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 by failing to frame a substantial question of law. The Court emphasized that the appellant was not given an opportunity to contest the revised bill, which was issued without proper inspection or notice. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's judgment, reinstating the trial court's decree that declared the revised bill null and void.
