4) Leading Judgment on procedure to be followed by lower court after case is remanded to it

It is fairly stated that power of jurisdiction

of the Court lower in hierarchy after remand, depends on

specifications of the remand order. Whether the order of

remand lays down any limits of enquiry to be made by the

Court lower in hierarchy that Court has no jurisdiction

to entertain any question which falls outside those

limits. In other words, where the Court passes

restricted order of remand it is not open to any of the

parties or any Court to enlarge the scope of the remand

order, that too, by a side window.

6) Procedure to be followed by lower court when case is remanded by higher court
Only limitation after the remand is as may be contained in the order of remand. If the order of remand restricts the jurisdiction, the Court cannot override those limitations. But if the order of remand is in fact a direction of re-hearing on merits on all issues and all contentions raised by the parties, the jurisdiction is not at all restricted.

7) Whether lower appellate court can remand the case to trial court if high court has remanded said case to it?

If such a remand is directed by the second Appellate Court or by the High Court in exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, on remand of such matter before the lower Appellate Court, the lower Appellate Court has all the options open including, in turn, remanding the matter to the trial Court if it thinks that such a course is necessary in the ends of justice.
