1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD Writ Petition No.440 of 2007. _______________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | _______________________|_______________________________________ 1. Heard. 2. The petitioner sought leave to admit three documents on record. The application was partly granted. It was, however, dismissed to the extent of the request to exhibit the copy of a Police report/statement and the newspaper. So far as the newspaper report is concerned, which comprises advertisement, it can be said that the same is not a public document within the meaning of Section 80 of the Evidence Act. The copy of Police report/statement U/s 161 of the Cr.P.C. is required to be proved by examining the concerned party or the Police officer of the concerned Police Station. It also can not be per se admitted as the copy of public record. The impugned order does not suffer from any arbitrariness and as such the petition is dismissed. Liberty to prove the said documents by any other mode legally permissible, during the course of trial. The petition is disposed of. (V.R.KINGAONKAR,J.) Dt.23.06.2009. asp/office/wp440.07
