Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the lower courts, affirming that the pronote and receipt executed by the defendant were inadmissible due to non-compliance with the Indian Stamps Act, as the stamps affixed were found to be removed from another document. The Court reiterated that findings of fact by the trial court, which established the lack of proper stamping, cannot be interfered with in a second appeal. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed with no costs.
