The Supreme Court in Municipal Committee, Hoshiarpur vs. Punjab State Electricity Board, (2010) 13 SCC 216 has decided that “There is no prohibition on entertaining a second appeal even on a question of fact provided the court is satisfied that the findings of fact recorded by the courts below stood vitiated by non consideration of relevant evidence or by showing an erroneous approach to the matter i.e. that the finding of facts are found to be perverse. But the High Court cannot interfere with the concurrent findings of fact in a routine and casual manner by substituting its subjective satisfaction in place of that of the lower courts.”
