The writ petition as well as the special appeal preferred by the petitioners against the said order dated 12.05.2006, were also dismissed. The petitioners thereafter filed another application to lead secondary evidence with regard to the said documents, and the said application was also dismissed by the trial court vide its order dated 10.11.2006.
