1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.8001 OF 2010 Babasaheb A. Jadhav ...Petitioner. v. Sopan A. Jadhav & Ors. ...Respondents. Mr. S.S.Patwardhan, adv., for the petitioner. Mr. Kedar J. Patil, adv. for the respondent nos.1 and 2. CORAM : J.H.Bhatia, J. DATE : 13th October, 2010 P.C.: 1 Heard the learned counsel for the parties. After evidence of both the parties was almost completed, plaintiff sought to produce certified copy of the accounts from a bank as per application, Ex.133. The trial Court allowed that application and directed that the said document be admitted in evidence in view of the provisions of Section 2(A) of the Banker’s Books of Evidence Act. After hearing the parties, I find no illegality in the said order. The learned counsel for the defendant/petitioner also contends that right to cross-examine has not been given to the defendant after allowing said documents to be produced and admitted in evidence. In fact, it appears that no such prayer was made before the trial Court. however, that right can be given to the defendant. 2 2 For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petition stands dismissed. However, the defendant shall be given opportunity to cross- examine the concerned witness in respect of said account and also to lead additional evidence if he finds it necessary. (J.H.BHATIA, J.)
