1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.11456 OF 2010 _______________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | _______________________|_______________________________________ CORAM : S.V.GANGAPURWALA,J. Date : 13.06.2011. 1. Heard. 2. The petitioner assails the order passed by the Labour Court, rejecting the application for production of documents. Mr.Naik, learned counsel relies on provisions of Order 13 Rule 1 (3) of the C.P.C. and submits that the provisions of sub-rule (1) does not apply for production of the documents for cross-examination of the witnesses. According to him, the learned trial Judge has not considered this aspect of the matter and had rejected the same erroneously. 3. Mr.Ghuge, learned counsel submits that the application has been filed after a long slumber 2 though the documents were available in the year 2004, they have been filed recently. The learned counsel further contends that the application does not state any reason for the production of the documents at such a late stage nor any recital regarding the relevancy of the said documents. 4. Perusal of the application, it is manifest that the application does not spell out any of the reasons as required for production of the documents. The application also does not satisfy the provisions of Order 13 Rule 1 (3) of the C.P.C. on which the petitioner relies. The application does not state that the said documents are required for the purpose of cross-examination of the witnesses. In light of the same, as the application is sans any reasons enabling the petitioners to produce the documents, I do not see any error in rejection of the application. 5. However, considering the nature of the dispute I grant liberty to the petitioner to file appropriate application for production of the said documents which the Court would consider on its own merits. 3 6. The Writ Petition is disposed of. (S.V.GANGAPURWALA,J.) Dt.13.06.2011. asp/office/wp11456.10
