B.C. SHIVASHANKARA vs B.R. NAGARAJ — C.A. No. 5452/2000

The Supreme Court set aside the Karnataka High Court's judgment allowing respondent's second appeal because the High Court failed to formulate any substantial question of law as mandatorily required under Section 100 of the CPC. The Court remitted the matter back to the High Court for proper disposal in accordance with law, emphasizing that High Courts cannot reverse lower court judgments without first identifying and formulating the substantial legal question involved.
