THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.5181 OF 2011 ORDER: This Civil Revision Petition, under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, is directed against the docket order, dated 15.11.2011, in O.S.No.276 of 2010 on the file of the Additional Senior Civil Judge, Kurnool, wherein the Court below marked dewatering document, dated 07.04.2007, which was engrossed on the letter pad and directed the office to collect stamp duty and penalty. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that since the document, dated 07.04.2007 is under dispute, the question of marking the same does not arise and hence, he prays to set aside the impugned order. 3. There cannot be any dispute that once the document falls within the meaning of an instrument under Section 2(14) of the Indian Stamp Act 1899 (for short, ‘the Act’), it requires stamp duty and penalty as required under Section 35 of the Act. Unless the stamp duty and penalty is paid, the document cannot be received as an evidence even for collateral purpose. Whether the document is correct or forged one has to be decided after adducing necessary evidence by both the parties. Therefore, receiving the document in question is subject to proof, relevancy and admissibility. 4. With the above observation, the Civil Revision Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ K.C.BHANU, J DECEMBER 19, 2011.
