5 SCC 438; The Tehsildar and Ors. v. G. V. • Gopalakrishnappa and Ors. disposed of on 25.9.2000 and Dyamappa H. Gondar v. Ganeshappa S. Sudambi and Anr., disposed of on 28.9.2000, held that having regard to the provisions of Sections 100 and IOI C.P.C., the High Court can entertain the Second Appeal only when a substantial question of law arises from the judgment of the first Appellate Court. As the High Comt D has not framed such a question but decided the Second Appeal on fact and reversed the first Appellate Court's judgment and decree, we have no option except to set aside the judgment and decree under appeai and remand the case to the High Court for fresh disposal according to law.

The judgment and decree, under appeal, are set aside, the Second Appeal E is restored to the file of the High Court. The High Court will now consider whether any substantial question of law arises from the judgment of the first Appellate Court and if so, to frame the question and dispose of the appeal on that question. The appeal is accordingly aliowed. There shali be no order as to costs. F R.P. Appeal allowed.
