Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, emphasizing that the High Court must not interfere with the findings of fact unless there is a substantial question of law. The Court reiterated that the jurisdiction of the High Court in second appeals is limited and should focus on legal principles rather than re-evaluating evidence. The judgment upheld the lower court's decision, affirming the importance of maintaining the integrity of trial court findings.
