LALMUNI DEVI . vs JAGDISH TIWARY(D) THR. LRS. . — C.A. No. 4334/2012

Summary of C.A. No. 004334/2012 (Lalmuni Devi v. Jagdish Tiwari) The Supreme Court allowed Lalmuni Devi's appeals, setting aside the Patna High Court's 2004 judgment and 2005 review order that had dismissed the second appeal without providing effective hearing opportunity. The Court found merit in the appellants' claim that their advocate's adjournment request due to illness was wrongfully rejected and that the appeal was decided on different legal questions than those originally framed. The case was remitted to the High Court for fresh disposal within one year, with directions to hear the appeal on the originally framed substantial questions of law and to provide opportunity for additional submissions if new questions arise.
