MITHILESH KUMAR SAH @ STENO S/O LATE SHIV LAL SAH R/O MOHALLA- KARICHAK, P.S.- BARH, DISTT.- PATNA. ----- Defendants/Proforma opposite party 4th set ----------- 3 2.12.2009 Heard Mr. Pushkar Narayain Shahi, learned counsel for the defendant-petitioner and Mr. Sidharth Prasad, learned counsel for the plaintiffs-opposite parties. After Mr. Shahi was able to persuade this Court that the approach of the court below in passing the impugned order dated 15.6.2009 as with regard to rejecting the prayer of the defendant-petitioner in his application dated 11.6.2009 for exhibiting the two petitioners dated 20.3.1969 earlier filed by the father of the petitioner in an inter- parte suit, T.S. No. 33/1964 was unjustified, Mr. Sidharth, learned counsel for the plaintiffs-opposite parties after taking 4 instruction from his clients would submit that they will have no objection if only those two documents, namely, certified copy of petition dated 20.3.1969 under Order 6 Rule 17 C.P.C. and under Order 1, Rule 10 and 151 C.P.C. filed in T.S. No. 33 of 1964 by the defendant nos. 19 & 20 of T.S. No. 33 of 1945 and the certified copy of the petition dated 20.3.1969 filed by the defendant no.19 & 20 of T.S. No. 33 of 1945 under Order 6 Rule 13 of the C.P.C. are taken on record. Mr. Sidharth, however, has an apprehension that if these two documents are also marked as exhibit, the hearing of the suit on account of reopening of concluded arguments may get delayed. Mr. Shahi, in order to eliminate such apprehension from the minds of the counsel for the plaintiffs-opposite parties, would submit that nothing more has to be done as in respect of these two documents save and except that their evidentiary value, to the extent the two documents would permit, is taken into account by the court below while delivering its judgment. He would further undertake that the defendant-petitioner would 5 not seek re-opening of the arguments and only file a brief written submissions confined only to those two documents within a period of one week from today. Mr. Sidharth also undertakes to file the comments of the plaintiffs as with regard to these two documents referred above within the same period. Consequently, the impugned order in this civil revision application is set aside with a direction to the court below to mark the aforesaid two documents as exhibits and also take them into consideration while deciding the suit on merits. With the aforesaid observations and directions this Civil Revision application is finally disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
