Rajat Kumar v. S D Adarsh Jain Kanya Maha Vidyalaya (2026): a High Court cannot grant relief never prayed for, nor reverse concurrent decrees without framing Section 100 CPC questions

Setting aside a Punjab & Haryana High Court judgment for the second time, the Supreme Court held that a court cannot substitute valuer-assessed compensation for a decree of mandatory injunction that was never sought, cannot direct an Executing Court to 'assess' a value once the underlying decree is gone, and cannot dispose of a second appeal without actually framing and answering substantial questions of law under Section 100 CPC.
