J.M.A. Raju vs Krishnamurthy Bhatt on 12 August, 1975
25. Under these circumstances and in the light of the above discussion, we hold that the decision of the Division Bench of this Court in Prabhudas v. Bhogilal (AIR 1968 Guj 236) (supra) and, particularly what has been mentioned in paragraph 9 of the judgment is in no way modified by the observations of Mathew J., in M, L. Sethi v. R. P. Kapur (AIR 1972 SC 2379) (supra). We must make it clear that we are confining our decision only to the scope of Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure in the context of a decision to admit or not to admit a document in evidence on the ground of sufficiency or otherwise of stamp and in the context of section 35 proviso (a) of the Indian Stamp Act.
