ABDUL SATTAR vs Syed RAZI HUSSAIN ETC.S

This matter concerns two Civil Petitions for Special Leave to Appeal challenging the exercise of revisional jurisdiction by the High Court. The core legal question addressed is whether the High Court exceeded its scope of authority under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908 by setting aside the concurrent findings of two lower courts that did not suffer from any jurisdictional error. The Supreme Court, upon reviewing the initial stay order and the submissions of counsel, determined that the High Court's interference with the lower courts' orders was potentially improper as those orders did not exhibit the jurisdictional defects required for intervention under the statute. Consequently, the Court granted leave to appeal to examine the limits of the High Court's revisional powers. The principle laid down emphasizes that the High Court's revisional jurisdiction is strictly confined to cases involving jurisdictional errors, and it cannot interfere with lower court findings simply based on disagreement, provided those courts acted within their legal competence.
