JUDGEMENT
Amit Rawal, J. -
(1.) Petitioner-plaintiff is aggrieved of the impugned order, whereby the application moved at the instance of the defendants for de-exhibition of the documents tendered along with the affidavit in examination-in-chief, has been allowed.
(2.) Mr. Namit Gautam, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner-plaintiff submits that there is no provision in the Civil Procedure Code for moving such an application. Assuming for sake of arguments, though not admitting, the provisions of Section 151 CPC can be pressed into service, the remedy, if any, for the defendants was to raise objection qua mode of proof and admissibility at the time when the plaintiff would have stepped into the witness box for cross-examination and, thus, the impugned order is not sustainable.
(3.) Mr. Raman Sharma, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent No. 1 submits that the documents, sought to be placed on record by way of affidavit, are beyond pleadings and, therefore, cannot be taken into consideration and rightly so, the application was moved, which has been allowed. There is no illegality and perversity in the impugned order. Even as per the judgment rendered by this Court in Jasjit Singh & Anr. v. Prem Harjit Singh & Anr., 2012 (4) Civil Court Cases 254 (P &H) , it has been held that the documents introduced for the first time in the affidavit cannot taken into consideration and, thus, urges this Court for upholding the impugned order.;
