Okay, but I am thinking why the installation either from live session or
otherwise could how pay the different ways? Since in either case it is
occupying the entire hard-disk space. Might be some internal story, but I
am unable to understand that!

Frankly speaking, I don't know but I heard someone saying to use LVM but I
have to use for the home (desktop), I am canceling this plan.

I am going with the defaults only. The plan I was going with (/ = 16 GB,
/home = 212 GB and /swap = 2 GB), is not the default...? May be because we
are our self allocating the space for each partition and I guess the
default also takes the same way of partitioning the disk space.
