Madhukar And Ors vs Sangram And Ors

The Supreme Court held that the High Court failed to adequately address the issues and evidence presented in the first appeal regarding the plaintiffs' claim of joint ownership and the validity of the gift deed and sale deeds. The Court emphasized that the appellate court must engage with all relevant issues and provide reasoned findings, as established in Santosh Hazari v. Purshottam Tiwari (JT 2001 2 SC 407). Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remanded the case for a fresh hearing, reinforcing the importance of a thorough appellate review.
