Fakkirappa Basappa Bhairappanavar & ... vs H.F. Bhairappanavar (D) By Lrs. & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the High Court, while acting as the first appellate court, failed to consider all oral and documentary evidence in a partition suit, which is a requirement for proper adjudication. The Court emphasized that the High Court must independently assess all evidence before reaching a conclusion. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter for fresh disposal in accordance with law.
