THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY C.R.P.No.4057 OF 2008 ORDER: This revision is filed against the orders dated 23.06.2008 in I.A.No.831 of 2008 in O.S.No.407 of 2005 on the file of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Kothagudem, Khammam District. 2. The present petitioner is the first defendant in the suit and he filed the impugned petition seeking permission to adduce secondary evidence contending that he has lost the original documents. According to the petitioner, he purchased a share in the disputed property under an agreement of sale and he lost the same and as well as the receipts. He wants to adduce secondary evidence and filed the impugned petition, which was dismissed by the learned trial Judge. 3. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that as the petitioner has lost the original agreement of sale and receipts, there is no impediment to permit him to adduce secondary evidence and the Court below has erroneously dismissed the petition. 4. On perusal of the impugned order, I hold that the Court below has rightly dismissed the petition observing that the petitioner herein/first defendant in the suit, in his written statement never took the plea that he lost those documents. Further more, it is very difficult to believe that the party lost the original agreement of sale and as well as the receipts. However, for the reason of non-mentioning of the said plea that the defendant has lost those documents in his written statement alone, I am confirming the order of the Court below. 5. The Civil Revision Petition is accordingly dismissed. ___________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J. 10th August 2009 Rns
