2. The defendant has filed reply on same application stating
that the plaintiff has filed evidence along-with documents. After
completing the pleadings and hearing the matter is kept for order
on plaintiffs documents. Therefore, present application is
premature and liable to be dismissed. Hence, prayed to reject the
application.
3. Heard advocate for both parties at length.
4. On perusal of the application, it appears that the
document at Sr. No. 1 is in the custody of the bank and said
document is issued by the bank. Hence, it is necessary to lead
secondary evidence of said document. Moreover, documents at Sr.
Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 7 are the office copies of the notices. The
defendants have no strong objection about said notices. Hence, it
is necessary to allow secondary evidence of those notices.
Moreover, defendant has ample chance to cross examine the
plaintiff on the above documents. Moreover, document at Sr. No. 5
is the copy of the maintenance bill. The plaintiff should have
examine the concern officer of the society to prove the said will.
Hence, it is necessary to allow secondary evidence of document at
Sr. No. 1 to 4 and 7. Hence, at this juncture it is necessary to partly
allow the application of the plaintiff to lead secondary evidence in
respect of said documents. Hence, I pass the following order:
ORDER
1. The application below Exh. 20 is partly allowed.
2. The plaintiff is permitted to lead secondary evidence of
document at Sr. No. 1 to 4 and 7.
