CHIKKATHIMAMMA vs D.THIMMAIAH — C.A. No. 5977/1998

Case Summary: Chikkathimamma v. D. Thimmaiah Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed Chikkathimamma's appeal on 15 April 2004. The Court found that the Karnataka High Court's second appeal judgment was legally defective because it set aside the trial and first appellate court judgments without formulating a substantial question of law, as required. Directions: The impugned judgment was set aside and the matter remitted to the High Court to redecide the appeal in accordance with law after properly formulating substantial questions of law. The High Court was requested to dispose of the appeal expeditiously, noting the suit was originally filed in 1976. No costs awarded.
