2 NM 1973-19 in Suit No. 1780-09
Order 18, Rule 17A reads as under:
''Production of evidence not previously known or which could not
be produced despite due diligence.Where a party satisfies the Court
that, after the exercise of due diligence, any evidence was not within his
knowledge or could not be produced by him at the time when that party
was leading his evidence, the Court may permit that party to produce
that evidence at a later stage on such terms as may appear to it to be
just.''
It was for the plaintiff to show the exercise of due diligence the
evidence was not within his knowledge or could not be produced at the
time of filing of suit. The suit is for evidence. The plaintiff had ample
opportunity to secure these documents. The documents are sought in
the year 2019. It cannot be said that the plaintiff was not within the
knowledge of the documents. The Notice of Motion, therefore, cannot
be entertained and deserves to be dismissed.
In the result, following order is passed.
ORDER
The Notice of Motion No. 1973/2019 is dismissed.
