The phrase 'substantial question of law', asoccurring in the amended Section 100 is not definedin the Code. The word substantial, as qualifying' question of law', means – of having substance, essential, real, of sound worth, important or considerable. It is to be understood as something in contradistinction with – technical, of no substance or consequence, or academic merely. However, it is clear that the Legislature has chosen not to qualify the scope of substantial question of law by suffixing the words 'of general importance' as has been done in many other provisions such as Section 109 of the Code or Article 133(1) (a) of the Constitution. The substantial question of law on which a second appeal shall be heard need not necessarily be a substantial question of law of general importance. In Guran Ditta & Anr. Vs. T. Ram Ditta, AIR 1928 Privy Council 172,the phrase 'substantial question of law' as it was employed in the last clause of the then existing Section 110 of the C.P.C. (since omitted by the Amendment Act, 1973) came up for consideration and Their Lordships held that it did not mean a substantial question of general importance but a substantial question of law which was involved in the case as between the parties. ..." 12- mYys[kuh; gS fd vihyh; U;k;ky; }kjk oknh dk okn fujLr fd, tkus ds laca/k esa vfHkfyf[kr fu"d"kZ i=koyh ij miyC/k lk{; o lkexzh [2025:RJ-JP:5740] (13 of 13) [CSA-213/2024] ij vk/kkfjr gSa vkSj bl laca/k esa vihyh; U;k;ky; us i=koyh ij miyC/k leLr lk{; dk lgh ewY;kadu o fo'ys"k.k fd;k gSA vr% vihyh; U;k;ky; }kjk mDr lEcU/k esa vfHkfyf[kr fu"d"kksZa esa fdlh izdkj dh dksbZ =qfV vFkok izfrdwyrk ugha gksus ls o bu f}rh; vihyksa esa fof/k dk dksbZ iz'u vFkok fof/k dk dksbZ lkjHkwr iz'u ugha gksus ls ;s nksuksa f}rh; vihysa xzg.kkFkZ Lrj ij gh fujLr fd;s tkus ;ksX; gS] tks ,rn~}kjk fujLr dh tkrh gaS rFkk vihyh; U;k;ky; ds fu.kZ; ,oa fMdzh fnukad 20-04-2024 dh iqf"V dh tkrh gS A (VINOD KUMAR BHARWANI),J Rishikesh Soni/reserve
