Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court emphasized that the jurisdiction of the Court should not be invoked for trivial matters, reiterating that only serious questions of law warrant judicial intervention. In this case, the dispute arose from a claim for insurance money after the death of a buffalo insured by a Gramin Bank, which was deemed to lack substantial legal questions. The Court held that the matter should have been resolved through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms rather than through the Supreme Court, ultimately dismissing the appeal.
