Adv. P. M. Bhansali for defendant present in Court hall.
In this suit plaintiff filed evidence affidavit of two witnesses on 03.04.2025. Plaintiff has not filed separate compilation of documents. Advocate for plaintiff submit that whatever documents plaintiff filed along with plaint are the documents on which plaintiff want to rely. Advocate for plaintiff further submit that copies of documents annexed with plaint in fact is in form of secondary evidence. On being asked Ld. Advocate for plaintiff submit that few originals are in custody of other side. However, record reveal that plaintiff has not issued any notice to other side calling upon defendant to tender these original documents on record. Ld. Advocate for defendant deny that defendant should have any such original documents with them.
In order to lead secondary evidence, plaintiff will have to satisfy requirement of Section 65 of Indian Evidence Act. In such circumstances, further examination in chief can not be recorded. Plaintiff is directed to take appropriate steps.

Adv. Deepali Sheth i/b Adv. Pooja Tripathi for plaintiff present and filed an application seeking time to lead secondary evidence. TOR and marked as Exh.21.
Adv. Kirti Vengurlekar h/f Adv. P. M. Bhansali for defendant present through VC and objected the same on the ground that inspite of previous direction no steps are taken.
Order- The suit is of the year 2019 and evidence affidavit were filed on 03.04.2025, however, the original documents were not filed on record. On 23.04.2026 plaintiff were directed to take appropriate steps which are not taken. Again on oral request of plaintiff on 18.06.2026, last chance was granted. Inspite of it today again the application is moved to seeking time to lead secondary evidence. However, instead of taking appropriate steps, the application is filed though Adv. Sheth submitted that notice under Order 11 Rule 16 of CPC was issued, however, I am of view that the said steps taken by plaintiff at belated stage. Hence, I dont find any merit in the application. Hence, application stands rejected. Put up the suit for dismissal on next date, if plaintiff fail to take appropriate steps.
