Article 227 | Supervisory Jurisdiction Cannot Substitute Appeal Against Discretionary Order Allowing Secondary Evidence for Will : HP HC

The Himachal Pradesh High Court held that Article 227 supervisory jurisdiction cannot be invoked to challenge a trial court's discretionary decision to admit secondary evidence under Section 65 of the Evidence Act for proving a Will. The ruling clarifies that evidentiary rulings, even if debatable, must be challenged through appellate channels rather than constitutional writs, preserving the trial court's domain over procedural evidence management.
