IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH:: HYDERABAD WEDNESDAY, THE TWENTY SEVENTH DAY OF APRIL TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT:: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY C.R.P.No.4743 OF 2009 Between: M/s Vigaz Steel Profiled (Hyd) Pvt. Ltd., Rep. by its Deputy General Manager, Sri S.T.Raaj Manohar …Petitioner A n d M/s Nimmanarayana Co., Rep. by its Partner SriN.Janardhan Reddy and two others ..Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY C.R.P.No.4743 OF 2009 ORDER: This civil revision petition is directed against the docket order dated 08-07-2009 in O.S.S.R.No.15841 of 2009, on the file of the Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, wherein the plaint was returned for production of the account books. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. None appeared for the respondents, though served with notices. Perused the record. 3. The petitioner herein filed the suit for recovery of certain amounts allegedly due from the defendants on account of business transactions between them. According to the petitioner/plaintiff, they have maintained statement of account in the computer and the same is available on the hard disc and along with the plaint a print out of the statement of account is filed together with the copies of invoices, but, however, the trial Court insisted upon production of the original account books before numbering the suit and returned the plaint for the said purpose. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that no account books as such are maintained and the entire account is maintained in the digital form on the computer system and the question of producing the original books of account does not, therefore, arise and, therefore, a print out of the statement of account taken out of the computer system is produced. 6. In the grounds of revision, it is specifically stated that the account is maintained on the system in the form of computer hard disc and the same cannot be removed and produced before the Court. It appears the same was not stated before the trial Court and in the written endorsement it was mentioned that the original documents would be produced at the time of trial which gives an impression that the account books are available but are withheld as of now. No doubt, the plaintiff has stated that there are no account books maintained in a physical form and the account is maintained in the digital form on the computer system and the print out of the same is already filed. It is considered that return of the plaint for production of the original account books which are not in existence in the physical form, is unsustainable. The impugned order is, therefore, held liable to be set aside and is accordingly set aside and the trial Court is directed to register the suit, if otherwise in order. 7. The civil revision petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 27th April, 2011 Note: 1.
