In Brief
A municipal corporation in Faridabad challenged the dismissal of its second appeal by the High Court against a judgment allowing a company's suit for permanent injunction to restrain House Tax recovery. The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the second appeal in limine, finding that it did involve substantial questions of law under Section 100 CPC regarding maintainability of the suit, available statutory remedies, and procedural compliance. The Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the case for decision on merits with proper framing of substantial questions of law in light of the Haryana Municipal Act, 1973."
