IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.2366 of 2007 AJAY PRASAD Versus SEKH AFTAB AHMAD ANSARI & ORS ----------- C.R. No.2369 of 2007 AJAY PRASAD Versus SEKH AFTAB AHMAD ANSARI & ORS ----------- 4. 4.9.2008 Heard counsel for the petitioner. For the reasons mentioned in I.A. No. 6755/2007, the delay in filing of the Civil Revision application C.R. No. 2366/2007 is condoned. In the opinion of this Court the effort of the defendant tenant petitioner in prolonging the eviction suit for a period over two years has partly succeeded, inasmuch as after closure of his evidence on 17.06.2006 an attempt was made to introduce certain documents traces whereof were not existing either in the pleadings i.e. in the written statement or even at the stage of framing of the issues. Infact at a very belated stage such an application was filed by the petitioner saying that these documents were traced from the records of his Income Tax Lawyer and therefore, they may be taken into evidence by existing them. 2 Counsel for the petitioner stressed that as a matter of fact the relevance of filing these documents became necessary on account of certain questions put to the witnesses of the petitioner during his cross examination. This plea, however, is not at all borne out from the perusal of the said application which was filed in the court below on 04.07.2006, i.e. Annexure-2 to this civil revision application. Apparently this new plea cannot be entertained by this court for the first time in this civil revision application. That being so, this Court would not find any merit in this Civil Revision application (C.R. No. 2366/2007). Consequently the second impugned order dated 10.10.2007 in C.R.No. 2369/2007 which was only by way of rejection of review of the earlier order dated 19.12.2006 is also not maintainable and as the main order has been affirmed by this court, this case must meet the same fate. This being the position, both the applications fail and are hereby dismissed with a firm direction to court below to proceed expeditiously and ensure that the 3 eviction suit is decided at the earliest preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order.
