BAIDYANATH PD. SINGH vs GAURI SHANKAR PD.SINGH — C.A. No. 5619/1999

Case Summary: C.A. No. 005619/1999 Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the High Court's judgment. The case involved a partition suit where the trial court decreed in favor of plaintiffs-respondents, but the first appellate court reversed this. The High Court then reversed the appellate court's decision by re-appreciating evidence, ignoring the substantial questions of law framed at admission. The Court found this violated Section 100 CPC principles, which restrict High Court jurisdiction to substantial questions of law. Next Steps: The case was remitted to the High Court for fresh decision addressing the framed questions concerning Section 4 of the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956. The Court requested the Chief Justice list the matter out of turn for disposal within three months, with case records transmitted forthwith.
