Ranjit Kumar Karmakar @ Dulal Karmakar vs Hari Sankar Das

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order allowing a second appeal under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, was unsustainable as it failed to address the six substantial questions of law it had framed. The Court emphasized that the High Court must confine its inquiry to the substantial questions of law and cannot decide on issues beyond those. Consequently, the Supreme Court remanded the case to the High Court for a fresh hearing on the merits of the second appeal.
