IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1624 of 2008 ASHOK KUMAR THAKUR & ORS Versus RAM JANKI & ORS ----------- 2 24/9/2008 Heard counsel for the petitioners. In the opinion of this Court when the defendant, petitioner had failed to bring on record by way of exhibiting those 19 documents in course of leading their defence and in fact had also completed their argument in all respect on 24.6.2008, the application seeking leave of the Court to adduce 17 documents out of the list of 19 documents, was definitely malafide. It was so because when the plaintiff had pointed out in their reply argument that those documents being referred to and relied by the defendant in the argument, were not on records, the petitioner woke-up and had made an application on 28.7.2008 at the verge of completion of argument of the plaintiff that those documents may be taken on the records by admitting them in evidence. In that view of the matter, the court below has not committed any jurisdictional error in refusing such 2 prayer of the petitioner. Hearing of the suit cannot be an endless process and it must come to an end. If the petitioner failed to prove 17 documents out of 19 documents and chose to prove only two documents by getting them admitted into evidence which were also taken on records by exhibiting them on 3.11.2006 while petitioners were still adducing their evidence, this Court would not find any error in the impugned order passed by the court below refusing to take those remaining 17 documents on records by admitting in evidence at such a belated stage of closure of arguments. That being so, there is no merit in this application and the same is accordingly dismissed. ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.) Abhay Kumar
