THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Civil Revision Petition Nos.700 and 787 of 2010 COMMON ORDER: These two civil revision petitions, under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, are directed against the common order dated 13.10.2009 passed in I.A.Nos.1974 and 1975 of 2009 in O.P.No.444 of 2008 by the learned Judge, Family Court, Ranga Reddy District, whereunder the petitions filed by the petitioner herein, praying the Court below to receive certain documents on record and recall the petitioner, who has been examined as P.W.1, to adduce further evidence with regard to those documents, were dismissed. The petitioner herein filed the Original Petition in O.P.No.444 of 2008 before the Court below, under Section 25 of the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, against the respondent herein, seeking custody of his girl child namely Venkata Sri Vaishnavi. The girl child is stated to be in the custody of the respondent, her maternal grandfather, after the death of her mother. The petitioner himself was examined as P.W.1 and after the evidence on his side was closed, while the matter is at the stage of adduction of evidence on the side of the respondent, the petitioner filed the present applications, praying the Court below to receive certain documents on record and to recall him for adducing further evidence with regard to those documents. It was the case of the petitioner that the said documents, which pertain to certain criminal cases and other relevant information, would disprove the evidence of the respondent with regard to the criminal case foisted against the petitioner by his first wife and his alleged intimacy with one Varalakshmi, and would show that the respondent is in the habit of filing criminal cases against all his sons-in-law. The respondent resisted the petitions by filing counter-affidavit, stating that the petitions are filed only to fill up the lacunae in the evidence of the petitioner as P.W.1. The Court below, having found that the delay in filing the documents is not properly explained and that the petitions are filed only to fill up the gaps in the evidence of the petitioner, dismissed the petitions, by the impugned common order. Aggrieved by the same, the present civil revision petitions are filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner at length and perused the impugned order and other material made available on record. The petitioner, having adduced his evidence as P.W.1 and having cross-examined the respodent-R.W.1, came up with the present petitions, stating that the documents sought to be received on record would disprove the evidence of the respondent as R.W.1. The reason assigned by the petitioner, for not filing those documents at the time of his evidence, was that he was in prison for certain period and during that period, those documents were shifted to his parents’ house, where they were misplaced with other material, and subsequently they were traced. This reason assigned by the petitioner is not a bona fide reason and cannot be believed. Having considered the matter in detail, I am of the considered opinion that the Court below has rightly dismissed the present applications by the impugned order and no exception can be taken thereto, in exercise of the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The civil revision petitions are devoid of merit and they are accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 5th March, 2010 IBL
