ASHOK RANGNATH MAGAR vs SHRIKANT GOVINDRAO SANGVIKAR AND

The Supreme Court held that the Bombay High Court erred in reversing the trial court's judgment without formulating a substantial question of law as mandated by Section 100 CPC. The Court emphasized that the exercise of jurisdiction under Section 100 requires the identification of a substantial question of law, and failure to do so renders the High Court's judgment patently illegal. Consequently, the Supreme Court remitted the matter back to the High Court for a fresh decision on the second appeal.
