IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No. 4183 of 2009 Date of Decision: 28.7.2009 Nirwair Singh alias Nirwail Singh ....Petitioner. Versus Kashmir Singh and others ...Respondents. CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL. PRESENT: Mr. Vivek Slathia, Advocate for the petitioner. AJAY KUMAR MITTAL, J. In this petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner is seeking setting aside of the order dated 2.5.2009, whereby the application filed by him for permission to place on record negatives and photographs which had been misplaced from the court file or to issue direction to trace the same and reconstruct the court file was dismissed. The trial court while declining the said application, had observed as under:- “Even no list of documents has been filed on record which could show the filing of negatives and mere writing of documents as negatives being Ex.P-2 to Ex.P-7 and photographs Ex.P-8 to Ex.P-13 in the affidavit tendered in the Court as Ex.PW2/A, in the light of facts and circumstances arising in the present case, does not prove that any such negatives or CR No. 4183 of 2009 -2- photographs were placed on record or were exhibited in the Court. Thus, in absence of any supporting clue on the court file regarding claim of the plaintiff/ applicant, no enquiry can be ordered to be initiated nor it can be held that any document has been lost out from the court file.” Learned counsel for the petitioner could not show that the aforesaid observation of the trial court is erroneous or perverse. No ground to exercise its jurisdiction by this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is made out. Dismissed. July 28, 2009 (AJAY KUMAR MITTAL) gbs JUDGE
