MADHUKAR vs SANGRAM .

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 and sale deeds. The Court emphasized that the appellate court must reflect a conscious application of mind and provide reasoned findings on all issues, 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, ensuring that all relevant aspects are considered.
