This matter arises from a petition for leave to appeal against an order of the High Court exercising revisional jurisdiction. The core legal question concerns the propriety of the High Court interfering with concurrent findings of fact recorded by the trial court and affirmed by the appellate court. The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal to examine whether such interference in revision was justified under the law. The holding establishes that the re-appraisal of concurrent findings of fact by a revisional court requires careful scrutiny regarding jurisdictional error or illegality.
