SUMANT DEVI D/O LATE AYODHYA PRASAD SHARMA AND W/O SRI VIJAY KUMAR SINGH R/O VILL.- SARWAN, P.O. GORAKHARI, P.S. BIKRAM, DISTT.- PATNA ----------- 2. 07.04.2011 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The petitioner is the appellant in Title Appeal No. 17 of 1996/31 of 2009 aggrieved by the order dated 6.4.2010 of the Additional District Judge 13 at Patna rejecting his application to admit two gift deeds dated 19.10.1992 and 26.10.1992 as additional evidence at the appellate stage. Learned Counsel submits that the original plaintiff Mostt. Phulpati Devi who had filed Title Suit No. 9 of 1982 was deceased on 1.5.2000 during pendency of the appeal. The petitioner stepped into her shoes by order dated 20.3.2007. He then filed the present application in respect of the two gift deeds on 16.2.2010. It is submitted that these deeds are vital for the proper adjudication of the Title Appeal. The impugned order notices that the Title Suit was decreed on 8.1.1996 after the execution of the gift deeds in question on 19.10.1992 and 26 .10.1992. No explanation had been given why Mostt. Phulpati Devi did not bring these documents on record in the suit itself. Mostt. Phulpati Devi was deceased on 1.5.2000 during pendency of the Title Appeal. The present application has been filed ten years after her death. It does not appear that any grounds were raised on behalf of the petitioner before the court below for such belated application. The Court therefore finds no reason to interfere with the conclusion as contained in the last paragraph of the order dated 6.4.2010. However if the appellant himself cooperates, let the appellate court endeavor to dispose off the appeal expeditiously preferably within a maximum period of ten-twelve months without granting unnecessary and frivolous adjournments to either party. The writ application is dismissed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
