Issue of Non-Service of Bills cannot be raised at Appellate Stage: Calcutta HC

The Calcutta High Court ruled that the issue of non-service of bills cannot be raised at the appellate stage if it was not contested during the trial. The court emphasized that such issues should be brought up at the earliest opportunity during the trial, failing which they cannot be introduced later on appeal. This judgment reinforces the importance of raising all pertinent issues at the trial stage itself. The case involved a dispute where the petitioner attempted to introduce the non-service of bills issue at the appellate level, which the court dismissed as procedurally improper. The ruling highlights procedural adherence and reinforces the principle that appellate courts are not forums for introducing new issues.
