Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent. Perused the record. 3. The petitioner herein filed the suit for declaration of title and for recovery of possession and also for permanent injunction. The respondent/defendant filed written statement contesting the suit. After necessary issues were settled, the trial of the suit commenced and the matter reached the stage of arguments on conclusion of recording of evidence. At that stage, the plaintiff filed I.A.No.2370 of 2010 under Order VII Rule 14 CPC seeking permission to receive a document viz., layout plan. By the impugned order, the trial Court dismissed the said application observing that the plaintiff’s affidavit does not disclose valid or sufficient reasons as to why the document was filed at a belated stage. In the affidavit, the plaintiff has averred that at the time of cross-examination of D.W.1, the witness was questioned about layout plan and D.W.1 denied about the same and that though the plaintiff applied for certified copy long back, he received the same only recently. 4. In the circumstances, it is considered just and proper that an opportunity be given to the petitioner/plaintiff to place the certified copy of the layout plan on record so as to enable the Court to effectively adjudicate the dispute between the parties in the light of all the material evidence that can be placed on record. 5. The learned counsel for the respondent would submit that the petitioner may not be permitted to protract the further proceedings in the suit on the pretext of re- opening the evidence. The petitioner is permitted only to file the certified copy of the layout plan and mark the same as exhibit in evidence. The trial Court shall dispose of the suit within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. In the result, the civil revision petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 14th February, 2011 Lrkm.
