GAYATHRI WOMENS WELFARE ASSOCIATION vs GOWRAMMA

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the High Court was justified in allowing the respondents to raise a counter claim after the trial court had framed issues. The Court held that such a counter claim could not be permitted at that stage, emphasizing the importance of adhering to procedural timelines in civil litigation. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, reinstating the trial court's decree in favor of the appellants for permanent injunction.
