FAKKIRAPPA BASAPPA BHAIRAPPANAVAR vs H.F. BHAIRAPPANAVAR (D) BY LRS.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court, while acting as the first appellate court, failed to consider all oral and documentary evidence presented by the parties, which is a requirement for independent findings on all issues. The Court emphasized that the High Court must review the entire evidence rather than relying on selective documents. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter for fresh disposal in accordance with law.
