HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY C.R.P. No.4330 OF 2009 DATE:06-11-2009 BETWEEN Chintapalli Seshavatharam @ Baby …Petitioner AND Durga Yedukondalu …Respondent THIS COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY C.R.P. No.4330 OF 2009 ORDER: This Court by elaborate reasons in C.R.P.No.4619 of 2008, dated 18.9.2009 held that as per the definition of ‘bond’ under Section 2(5) of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 any instrument attested by a witness and not payable to order or bearer, whereby a person obliged himself to pay money to another is a ‘bond’ and chargeable to duty under Art.1, Sch.1 (a) of the Indian Stamp Act as a bond. Admittedly, the impugned document is a repayment agreement and was attested by two witnesses apart from the borrower and financier and therefore, it falls within the definition of ‘bond’. The impugned order passed by the lower Court does not suffer from any illegality warranting interference by this Court. The revision fails and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. _______________ A. GOPAL REDDY, J. NOVEMBER 06, 2009 Tsr.
