Summary of C.A. No. 005919/1998 (State of H.P. v. Bija Ram) On 10 February 2004, the Supreme Court allowed the State of Himachal Pradesh's appeal, holding that the High Court's impugned judgment on the second appeal was unsustainable because it failed to formulate or consider any substantial question of law as mandatorily required under Section 100 CPC. The Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remitted the second appeal back to the High Court for proper consideration of substantial questions of law, with status quo over the disputed lands maintained until final disposal. No costs were awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
