CR No.1790/2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.1790/2011 Date of decision: 06.05.2011. Prem Singh ....................Petitioner v. Shamsher Singh .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.AS Khinda,Advocate for the petitioner. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Defendant/petitioner in the instant revision petition has assailed the order dated 8.9.2010 (P4) passed by the learned Civil Judge (Senior Division)Barnala whereby he has permitted the plaintiff/respondent to affix the stamp duty equal to 11 times penalty on the pronote relied upon in the suit for recovery. Learned counsel for the defendant/petitioner has submitted that plaintiff cannot be permitted to affix the court fees at this stage as the alleged pronote has no value in the eyes of law. After hearing the learned counsel for the defendant/petitioner, I find no substance in the submission made by the learned counsel. It is evident that the plaintiff has been permitted to affix the court fees in view of proviso (a) to Section 35 of the Indian Stamps Act, CR No.1790/2011 2 which provides for affixation of such court fees during the subsistence of the suit in case the document is not properly affixed for the same to be admissible in evidence. The evidentiary value of the document is to be seen at the time of completion of the trial. In view of such circumstances, I find no ground to interfere in the impugned order passed by the learned trial court. Dismissed. 06.05.2011 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
