Govt. Of Karnataka And Anr vs K.C.Subramanya And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision rejecting the appellants' request to adduce additional evidence under Order XLI Rule 27(1)(aa) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, stating that the appellants failed to demonstrate that the evidence was not within their knowledge despite due diligence. The Court emphasized that additional evidence cannot be introduced at the appellate stage merely at the party's leisure. The appeal, stemming from a suit for declaration and confirmation of possession, was dismissed as the appellants could not prove any legal infirmity in the concurrent findings of the lower courts.
