Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the appellant's second appeal under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, on the grounds that it did not involve a substantial question of law. The Court emphasized that the interpretation of the agreement dated 08.08.1984 constituted a substantial question of law, necessitating the framing of such questions by the High Court. Consequently, the Court remanded the case for the High Court to decide the second appeal on merits after framing appropriate substantial questions of law as required under Sections 100(4) and 100(5) of the Code.
