CR 163 of 2008. 14.11.2008 Present: Mr. G.C.Gupta, Sr. Advocate, with Mr. Deepak Gupta, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Ramakant Sharma, counsel for the respondent. This revision petition has been filed by the petitioner herein against the order of the learned Rent Controller partly allowing the application under Order 8 Rule 1-A read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure for permission to place on record documents as prayed for therein. The learned Court allowed the application partly but declined permission for producing (1) PAN Card, (2) Driving Licence, (3) Telephone bill (4) Ration Card, (5) Insurance record as well as (6) documents pertaining to election record/ voter list and Indian Oil subscription qua gas connection. The facts contained in these documents can otherwise be proved by summoning the record from each of the departments, namely, the Income Tax Department, the Regional Transport Officer, the records from the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd., Food and Civil Supplies etc. Such a course of action would of course prolong the litigation. There is, thus, no justification in disallowing the petition to this extent. -2- Learned counsel for the respondent submits that the petitioner is delaying the trial as the petition was filed in the year 2002 and now a period of over six years has elapsed. The petitioner is coming in driblets and the learned Rent Controller has rightly declined permission to the petitioner herein. It is trite that mere production of the documents sought for would not prove the facts but would require independent proof and corroboration. Considering that the case has been pending since the year 2002, this petition is allowed and the petitioner is allowed to produce documents for which permission has been declined by the Rent Controller. This will be subject to the petitioner paying Rs.1100/- as costs to the respondent. It is clarified that in case the costs is not paid and proof of payment of such cost is not placed on record of the learned trial Court, this petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed and the documents sought to be placed on record shall be excluded from evidence.
