MADHAV @ MAHADEV vs SINDHU PATIL

The Supreme Court held that in an appeal against a decree, the First Appellate Court must consider both oral and documentary evidence presented by the parties. The failure to do so renders the impugned order liable to be set aside. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, the High Court's order was set aside, and the matter was remitted to the High Court for a proper hearing in accordance with law.
