13.3.2008 Present: Mr. Ramakant Sharma, counsel for the Petitioner. CMPMO No. 12 of 2008. This petition is directed against the order dated 16.11.2007 whereby the application filed by the petitioner for placing on record certain documents has been rejected. Admittedly, this application has been filed at the stage of arguments. The documents sought to be filed are certified copy of the order dated 18.2.2005 passed in Civil Suit No. 234/2000 and a copy of the jamabandi for the year 1977-78. The only reason given in the application is as follows:- “2. that it is mentioned that in spite of due diligence and exercise of due care the copy of order of civil court in civil suit No.234/200 decided on 18.2.2005 is left to be produced as also the copy of jamabandi which documents in the interest of justice and to determine the real controversy in suit are essential to be produced. These documents are public documents and require no proof.” Under the provisions of CPC, every party is bound to file the documents on or before the stage of framing of issues. It may, however, with the permission of the court, file documents at a later stage. In the above quoted paragraph of the application, the petitioner does not spell out any reason for not filing such documents at the earlier stage. The learned trial court has rightly held that the earlier order was known to the petitioner as well as his counsel since the same counsel was representing him in both the proceedings. It is also apparent that the defence evidence has been closed on 7.2.2005 and the application has been filed at the fag end when the matter has been fixed for arguments. In my opinion, the trial Court has rightly rejected the application. There is no merit in this petition which is accordingly dismissed. March 13, 2008. ( Deepak Gupta ), J. s.
