1 WP 5267/2011 abs FARAD CONTINUATION IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 5267 OF 2011 Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Court's or Judge's Orders Coram, appearances, Court's Orders or directions and Registrar's Orders Mr. S.P. Thorat for the petitioners. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J DATE : 8TH AUGUST 2011 P.C. : 1. The petition is directed against an interlocutory order and calls for no interference. 2. The trial Court has allowed the production of secondary evidence of a registered document, on the ground that the original has been lost or misplaced. 2 WP 5267/2011 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners ought to have lodged an FIR with the police for loss of original. FIR is filed when there is any offence. When asked what offence is committed, the counsel was unable to point out any offence for which the FIR could have been lodged. Counsel then submitted that the complaint should have been made to the Sub-Registrar of Assurance. When asked under what provision the complaint should be lodged to the Sub- Registrar of Assurance for loss of an original document which was not in possession of the Sub-Registrar, the counsel was unable to point out any provision. I know of no law which requires a person to make a complaint to the Sub-Registrar of Assurances on loss of an original document from his own possession. 3 WP 5267/2011 4. There is no merit in the writ petition which is hereby rejected. (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
