evidence affidavit alongwith

REASONS
As to point No. 1 and 2
4. I have heard, Learned Advocate Kalpesh Nansi for the
plaintiff and Advocate A. S. Khan for defendant Nos. 1, 2 and 4.
5. In brief, it is contention of the plantiff that he filed
affidavit of evidence and complilaiton of documents on or about
27.04.2017. He inadvetantly did not mention some points in the said
affidavit of evidence. The said some point are of prime importance. He
wants to file additional affidavit of evidence and put forth those vital
points on record alongwith supporting one document. Cross
examination of the plaintiff is to begin. Therefore, Notice of motion be
allowed.
6. In brief, it is contention of the Learned Advocate appearing
for defendants that he does not want to file reply to the notice of
motion, but he has strong objection to allow the notice of motion. It is
his contention that details of documents are not mentioned in the notice
of motion as well as in affidavit in support of notice of motion. This
-- 2 of 5 --
.. /3 .. NM 4044/19 in Sum Suit No. 1018/13
notice of motion is taken out after long period of filing affidavit of
evidence. Therefore, he lastly prayed to dismiss the notice of motion.
7. Perused affidavit of evidence filed by the plaintif vide
Exhibit-12. The affidavit of evidence is affirmed on 2.02.2017. Perused
plaint. Perused issues. Issue No. 1 is framed “whether defendant nos. 1,
2 and 4 prove that defendant no. 3 is exclusively responsible and the
lible for the transation entered with plaintiff”. Second issue is “Whether
the plaintiff proves that he is entitled to recover Rs.9,72,000/- from the
defendants”. The said issues are framed on 17.11.2016.
8. Plaintiff has to prove that he is entitled to recover the said
amount from the defendant. Perused Section 101 of Indian Evidence
Act. As per the said provision, whoever desires, any Court to give
judgment, as to any legal right or liability dependent on the existance of
facts which he asserts must prove that those facts exist. When a person
is bound to proof the existance of any fact, it is said that the burden of
proof lies on that person.
9. Perused Order-18 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The said
provision deals with hearing of the suit and examination of witnesses. I
have minutely gone through Order-18 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
There is no legal bar from filing additional evidence affidavit.
10. Accroding to the Learned Advocate appearing for the
defendants, the plaintiff did not mention the details of the documents in
the motion. I am of the opinion that if permission is granted to the
plaintiff to file additional affidavit of evidence alongwith compilation of
additional documents in that situation, the plaintiff has to serve copy of
-- 3 of 5 --
.. /4 .. NM 4044/19 in Sum Suit No. 1018/13
the additional evidence affidavit alongwith compilation of the
documents to the defendant. Therefore, there is no prejudice to the
defendant, if the notice of motion is allowed.
11. It is further contention of the Learned Advocate for
defendants that the notice of motion is taken out after long period of
filing of affidavit of evidence of the plaintiff. Admittedly cross-
examination of plaintiff is to begin. Therefore, there is no prejudice to
the defendants, if the notice of motion is allowed. Hence I record my
findings to point no. 1 in affirmative and point no. 2 notice of motion is
allowed, as per final order. I proceed to pass the following order.
ORDER
