RAMACHANDRA GOUNDER vs ANGALAMMAI . — C.A. No. 2535/2000

Case Summary: C.A. No. 2535/2000 – Ramachandra Gounder v. Angalammai Outcome & Decision (19 April 2006): The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the Madras High Court's judgment in Second Appeal No. 1735 of 1985. The Court found the High Court's judgment non-compliant with Section 100 CPC requirements—it failed to formulate and state the substantial questions of law before hearing the appeal. The Court condoned the delay in filing the substitution application (as the original appellant had deceased) and allowed the substitution by legal representatives. Next Steps: The case was remitted to the High Court for fresh hearing and disposal with proper formulation of substantial questions of law as per Section 100 CPC. Both parties may make submissions to assist the High Court in identifying relevant legal questions. No costs awarded.
