The sureties thereafter filed C.M.P.No.582/2010 seeking return of the title deeds for production of the same before the Government to enable them to get new title deeds. Even though the learned Sessions Judge allowed the said petition, the sureties were directed to produce the new title deeds to be issued by the Government within 45 days. 2. The purpose of producing title deeds by sureties is only to enable the Court to find out whether they have valid Crl.M.C.No.1112/2010 : 2 : title over the property that has been covered by the tax receipt produced. This verification have already been made. Hence it was not necessity for the Court to direct the sureties to produce their revised title deeds.
