THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.5289 OF 2007 ORDER: The petitioner-first defendant filed this Civil Revision Petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, inter alia, seeking to assai the correctness of the order dated 24.09.2007 passed in O.S.No.72 of 2003 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge, Machilipatnam, in directing D.W.3 to pay stamp duty and penalty as required under Section 2 (15) of the Indian Stamp Act, in regard to admissibility of the document dated 23.08.1996. Briefly stated, the facts, which are necessary for disposal of this revision, are that the suit is one for partition and during the course of trial, the abovementioned document was sought to be introduced in the evidence on behalf of the petitioner on the ground that there is prior partition. The respondents herein raised objection to the effect that the document is unregistered and unstamped and therefore, it could not possibly be received in evidence for any purpose, including collateral purpose. By taking into consideration the same, the Court below has upheld the said objection. Hence, the revision. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that even though the document requires registration and stamp duty, the same can be received in evidence for collateral purpose to show as to how the petitioner came to be in possession and as to what capacity he is in possession. These submissions were sought to be repelled on behalf of the respondents. On appraisal of these submissions, it is to be seen that if the suit is filed for perpetual injunction or other reliefs, then the contention of the petitioner would have been appreciated by booking at the dictums laid by this Court but the suit is filed for partition and not otherwise. In the circumstances, I do not find any merits in the revision. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. No costs. _________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) 21st January 2011 RRB
