Petitioner V/s. Life Insurance corporation of India ... Respondent Mr.V.Z. Kankaria for Petitioner Mr.Harihar Bhav i/b M/s.Bhave & Co. for Respondent CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED: APRIL 16, 2009 APRIL 16, 2009 APRIL 16, 2009 P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: . The petitioner has approached this Court against the order passsed by the Estate Officer of the Respondent herein by which the Estate Officer has refused to direct the Life Insurance Corporation to produce the documents required by the petitioner herein. The petitioner is yet to file a reply to the show cause notice. He has sought production of a sale deed which finds reference in the report of the valuers M/s.M.G. Vaidya & Associates. According to the petitioner, unless this sale deed is produced it would be difficult for the petitioner to reply to the show cause notice. 2. In my opinion, the submission on behalf of the petitioner is unsustainable. If the petitioner disputes the ownership of LIC or contends that the building of which he is a tenant does not belong to the LIC, he can : 2 : raise these contentions in his reply to the show cause notice. In the event, the proceedings commence before the Estate Officer and the petitioner requires any document he can always apply to the Estate Officer at that stage and the Estate Officer would pass appropriate orders in that behalf. 3. The petition is therefore rejected.
