This Court dismissed the civil appeal as it did not raise any substantial question of law warranting interference. The Court held the lower court decrees were sustainable, thus the revision was not maintainable under relevant CPC provisions.
Civil appeal dismissed on merits as no substantial question of law arose; order reserved.
