The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal against the appellate court's rejection of a retrial request. The appellant argued that a crucial employment certificate was overlooked by the second-instance court despite being newly discovered, while the court held that formal citation of the retrial ground does not guarantee its substantive existence. The decision clarified that a second-instance court ruling on the merits, even by dismissing an appeal, constitutes a judgment on the case's substance, making it the proper venue for retrial proceedings.
