THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.5594 of 2008 ORDER The petitioner filed this revision under Article 227 of the Constitution of India against the order, dated 14.07.2008, passed by the Andhra Pradesh Cooperative Tribunal, Hyderabad, in I.A.No.408 of 2006 in O.P.No.555 of 2001, whereby the first respondent-Bank was permitted to lead secondary evidence of the attested copies of the documents referred to in the petition. His grievance is that no reasons as contemplated under Section 65 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (for short ‘the Act’) are established by the first respondent Bank to lead secondary evidence of the said documents. The provisions of Section 65 of the Act are quite clear that secondary evidence may be given when the original has been destroyed or lost or when the party offering evidence of its contents cannot, for any other reason not arising from his own fault or neglect, produce it in reasonable time. Having heard the learned counsel and perused the material on record, in view of the above referred provision, this Court is of the view that the Tribunal has rightly passed the order impugned permitting the first respondent-Bank to lead secondary evidence. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. No costs. ___________________ B.PRAKASH RAO, J Date:24.12.2010. sj
