HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY CIVIL REIVISION PETITION No.4990 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner filed O.S. No.104 of 2007 in the Court of the Senior Civil Judge, Chirala, for declaration, for perpetual injunction to restrain the respondents from interfering with the possession and for mandatory injunction directing the respondents 1 to 3 to execute a sale deed. The respondents filed written statement and the suit came up for trial. On his part, the petitioner filed an affidavit in lieu of chief examination. When further step, viz., marking of documents was about to be take up, the petitioner filed an additional affidavit in lieu of chief examination stating that it became necessary on account of addition of the legal representatives. That was taken on record. Thereafter, the petitioner filed another additional affidavit in lieu of chief examination. The trial Court refused to take the same on record through its order, dated 17-10-2011. Hence, this CRP. 2. Heard Sri Sarvabhouma Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner. 3. The CPC was amended in the recent past providing for filing of affidavits in lieu of chief examination. For all practical purposes, there does not exist any step of recording chief examination of a witness in civil proceedings. Once the affidavit is filed, the witness must be available for cross-examination. The petitioner cannot be permitted to go on filing additional affidavits. Further, the facility of filing affidavits cannot be used by a party to the suit to improve the case, upon what is presented before the Court. The trial Court has assigned cogent reasons for dismissal of the application and this Court is not inclined to interfere with the same. 4. The Civil Revision Petition is, accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J November 17, 2011. KTL
