JUDGEMENT
DINESH CHANDRA SOMANI, J. -
(1.) The instant petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India has been filed by the plaintiff-petitioner
assailing the order dated 13.7.2010 passed by the Civil Judge
(Junior Division), Behror, District Alwar in Civil Suit
No.34/157/2003 titled as Manna Lal Vs. Bhura Lal & Ors., whereby
the learned trial Court has dismissed the application filed by the
plaintiff-petitioner under Order 7 Rule 14 (3) and Order 18 Rule 17
readwith Section 151 CPC.
(2.) Skeletal material facts necessary for disposal of this petition are that the plaintiff-petitioner filed a civil suit against the
defendant-respondents for permanent injunction stating therein
that the plot in dispute belongs to his ancestors and he is
peacefully using the same for his personal use, but now the
defendant/respondents are trying to interfere in the peaceful
possession and prayed to restrain the defendant/respondents by
issuing permanent injunction. The defendant/respondents filed
written statement denying averments made in the plaint and
stated that the disputed property belongs to one Prahlad Balmiki,
who sold the plot to Satyapal and Satyapal sold the same to Sunil
Dhanka and handed over the possession to him. It is also stated
that the defendant/respondents have no concern with the disputed
property. After completion of pleadings of the parties, the learned
trial Court framed issues on 27.4.2006. The plaintiff examined
himself as PW.1 and produced affidavits of two witnesses
Shyodayal and Kalicharan, but failed to produce the witnesses for
cross-examination, therefore, the learned trial Court closed the
plaintiff's evidence on 21.5.2008 and fixed the case for
defendants' evidence. After completion of defendant's evidence,
the case was fixed for final arguments. At the stage of final
arguments, the plaintiff/petitioner filed an application under Order
7 Rule 14 (3) and Order 18 Rule 17 readwith Section 151 CPC, which came to be dismissed vide impugned order. Being
dissatisfied with the impugned order, the plaintiff/petitioner has
approached this Court by way of this petition.
(3.) Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the learned trial Court has not appreciated the fact that as soon as the
petitioner received the documents, which he wanted to place on
record, he gave the same to his earlier counsel but his earlier
counsel could not place the same on record, which fact came to
his knowledge after engaging another counsel and thereafter he
moved an application for taking documents on record without any
further delay. Learned counsel also submits that the documents
i.e. affidavit of Prahlad executed on 11.3.2008, the will executed
on 8.5.2009 and photographs of the property in dispute annexed
with the application, are relevant documents and have important
bearing on the matter in issue and prayed to quash and set aside
the impugned order and allow the application moved by the
plaintiff/petitioner for taking documents on record and to give
opportunity to the petitioner to produce evidence.;
