M/s Mahavir Rice Mills Village Beni Amloh --Petitioner vs. Punjab State Electricity Board through its Chairman and others Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr.Nandan Jindal,Advocate, for the petitioner Mr.G.S.Sidhu,Advocate,for the respondents Rakesh Kumar Jain, J, (Oral) This revision petition is directed against order of Civil Judge (Junior Division), Amloh, dated 21.5.2010, by which application of the petitioner for leading additional evidence for the purpose of tendering Form 'C' with regard to Registration of the Firm, has been declined, on the ground that it was well within its knowledge at the time of leading evidence. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the document sought to be produced goes to the root of the case and is an official document not fabricated. He further submits that he would tender only the said document in evidence and would not lead any other evidence except for that. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondents submits that the petition may be allowed but subject to payment of cost. C.R.No. 4015 of 2010 -2- I have heard learned counsel for both the parties. The document which is sought to be produced on record is Form 'C ' in order to prove that the firm which has filed the present suit is a registered firm because under Section 69 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1952, a firm which is not registered cannot sue. Since the petitioner had availed opportunity earlier also before closing the evidence and did not lead this evidence and because of this Civil Revision, the respondents had to appear in this Court, therefore, on payment of Rs.10,000/- as costs, the present revision is allowed. The petitioner is at liberty to lead additional evidence by tendering Form 'C ' in evidence and nothing beyond that. 30.9.2010 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
