MUNICIPAL COMMITTEE, HOSHIARPUR vs PUNJAB STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD .

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in allowing the appeal of the Punjab State Electricity Board without framing a substantial question of law as required under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Court emphasized that the appellant, Municipal Committee, Hoshiarpur, was not given an opportunity to contest the revised bill, which was issued without proper inspection or notice. Consequently, the judgment of the High Court was set aside, and the trial court's decree declaring the revised bill null and void was restored.
