Nookala Krishnaiah And Anr. vs Nookala Dakshina Murthy And Ors. on 18 June, 2007

"Collateral matter", on the other hand, is something, which is total divorced, and different from the transaction, evidenced by a document. The document may contain certain recitals, which are totally unrelated to the transaction, which it intends to bring about. For example, the age of the vendor, as on the date of the execution of the document, is shown at a particular figure. The recital in that regard cannot be said to be collateral to the transaction, by any stretch of imagination. If a dispute arises in a different set of proceedings, as to the age of the said vendor, reliance upon the said document for the limited purpose of enlightening the Court, on the said aspect; cannot attract the prohibition contained under Section 35.

Lakkaraju Radha Krishna vs Pyarle Sri Rama Sarma And Ors. on 16 October, 2006

12. Reverting to the facts of the case, the document in question is a lease agreement, or lease deed, whichever one may choose to call it. The principal object is, to bring about a transaction of lease, and its collateral purposes would include the duration of lease, amount of rent, delivery of possession etc. If there exists a recital, as to the manner, in which the lessor had acquired the possession, it cannot be treated as collateral to it. Even if the document is insufficiently stamped, it can be pressed into service, by a person, who is not a party to it, but, only for a purpose, which is totally unrelated to the transaction. Viewed from this context, the purpose for which the petitioner intended to rely on the document, is totally unrelated to the transaction, brought about the document in question. The principles, that can be culled out from the precedents referred to above, get attracted to the facts of the case.
