Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. Inspite of service of notice, none appears for the respondents. 3. Summoning of a public officer with public records cannot be encouraged, unless presence of the Officer is imperative. Further more, it must be shown that the party, who is seeking to summon the witness, applied for certified copies of the documents, but the same were not granted by the concerned authorities. In such a case, he can seek to issue summons to the Public Officer to give evidence with records. The procedure contemplated under Rule 129 (3) of the Civil Rules of Practice has not been followed by the petitioner. Therefore, the trial court rightly dismissed the application and there are no grounds to interfere with the same. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner obtained certified copies of those documents and prays to give necessary permission to summon the officer to depose about the same. For that purpose, necessary application has to be filed before the trial court. 5. The Civil Revision Petition is, accordingly, dismissed giving liberty to the petitioner to file necessary application before the trial court for summoning the officer in accordance with law. No costs. --------------------- (K.C.Bhanu, J.) 17.2.2011 DRK THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CIVIL REVISION PETITION No. 227 of 2010 17.2.2011 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CIVIL REVISION PETITION No. 227 of 2010 17.2.2011 Between: Bheemarasetti Ramana Babu …Petitioner And Kandipalli Nagamani & another …Respondents
