Civil Revision No.3140 of 2010 (O&M) -2- Jamabandis are public documents. Any revenue document/public document can be placed on the record enabling the Court to decide the lis between the parties more effectively. Moreover, sale deeds sought to be filed as additional evidence are the sale deeds, which are already under challenge in the suit. In the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, additional evidence ought to have been allowed to be placed on record by the Court. Learned trial Court has taken hyper-technical view. Petition is allowed. Additional evidence sought to be filed is allowed to be placed on record, subject to payment of cost of `5,000/- to the respondents. Respondents shall be at liberty to file evidence in rebuttal within 15 days. (Alok Singh) Judge November 16, 2010 R.S.
