HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.2120 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners herein who are the defendants in the suit-O.S.No.5211 of 2006 on the file of the X Junior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, filed this Civil Revision Petition aggrieved by the order, dated 06.06.2011, dismissing the application in I.A.No.148 of 2011 in I.A.No.746 of 2010, which was filed under Section 151 C.P.C. praying to re-open the matter by setting aside the order, dated 11.03.2011 in I.A.No.746 of 2010. The Court below having regard to the settled law that no true copy of any public document is admissible as secondary evidence, observed that the petitioners failed in producing the certified copies of the documents viz., Town Survey Record and Plan thereof. It further recorded that the suit was posted for arguments as no further defendant’s evidence was reported by the defendant’s counsel and only to protract the proceedings, the said application was filed and accordingly, dismissed the said application. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and perused the relevant material papers on record. Indisputably, true copy of any public document is not admissible as secondary evidence, only the certified copy of the documents can be marked. The main reason for which the impugned order was passed by the trial Court dismissing the application is that the defendants are trying to protract the proceedings by seeking to adduce true copy of the public document as secondary evidence, which is not admissible. The said reason assigned by the trial Court for not entertaining the said application is sustainable and needs no interference by this Court. However, when the Civil Revision Petition is taken up, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners represented that the petitioners are ready and willing to produce the certified copy of the documents viz., Town Survey Record and Plan thereof and sought permission of this Court to adduce the same in evidence. Hence, the Civil Revision Petition is disposed of, with a direction to the petitioners to produce the certified copies of the documents-Town Survey Record and Plan thereof, upon which, the trial Court is directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________________ JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED​ 17th July 2011 Note: Issue CC in two days. B/o DR
