Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the question of whether the High Court should interfere with findings of fact made by the trial court and the first appellate court under Section 100 of the Civil Procedure Code. The Court held that the High Court erred in substituting its own findings for those of the lower courts, emphasizing that interference is only warranted in cases of substantial questions of law. The appeal was allowed, and the findings of the trial court were upheld, reinforcing the principle that factual determinations by lower courts should not be lightly disturbed.
