36. Section 35 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 provides that no instrument chargeable with duty shall be admitted in evidence unless such instrument is duly stamped. Section 36 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, however, provides for an exception to the said rule. It provides that an instrument cannot be called in question even if not duly stamped, where such instrument has been admitted in evidence. The Hon'ble Apex Court, in the case of Shyamal Kumar Roy Vs. Sushil Kumar Agarwal (supra), while dealing with the interpretation of Section 36 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, held that if the party has consented to the document being marked as an exhibit, it cannot then object to it on the ground of it being under-stamped.

Swami Satyanand vs Rajiv Ranjan Kumar Singh on 11 June, 2012

Mr. Prabal Mukherjee, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner referred to the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Shyamal Kumar Roy vs. Sushil Kumar Agarwal reported in (2006) II Supreme Court Cases 331 for the proposition that the said instrument is not admissible in evidence in view of the fact that the same is inadequately stamped. Since this document has not been marked as exhibit and could not be so in view of a clear bar under Section 36 of the Indian Stamp Act, the trial Court ought not to have passed such an order.

Hema Ram And Anr vs Guman Singh And Anr on 19 March, 2020

In the matter of Shyamal Kumar Roy v. Sushil Kumar Agrawal (supra), it has been held by the Hon'ble Apex Court that Section 36 of Indian Stamp Act, (which is analogous to Section 40 of Rajasthan Stamp Act, 1998), provides for a 'stand alone' clause. It categorically prohibits a court of law from reopening a matter with regard to the sufficiency or otherwise of the stamp duty paid on an instrument, in the event the same has been admitted in evidence. Only one exception has been made in this behalf, the provisions contained in Section 61 providing for reference and revision, in a case under Section 33 of the Act.

The Calcutta Gujarati Education ... vs Budge Budge Company Ltd on 19 March, 2024

The proviso, however, would show that an unregistered document affecting immovable property and required by the 1908 Act or the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 to be registered may be received as an evidence to the contract in a suit for specific performance or as evidence of any collateral transaction not required to be effected by registered instrument. By virtue of the proviso, therefore, an unregistered sale deed of an immovable property of the value of Rs 100 and more could be admitted in evidence as evidence of a contract in a suit for specific performance of the contract. Such an unregistered sale deed can also be admitted in evidence as an evidence of any collateral transaction not required to be effected by registered document. When an unregistered sale deed is tendered in evidence, not as evidence of a completed sale, but as proof of an oral agreement of sale, the deed can be received in evidence making an endorsement that it is received only as evidence of an oral agreement of sale under the proviso to Section 49 of the 1908 Act." Observations made in Shyamal Kumar Roy's case (supra) was considered in this case.

Mr. Devupalli Anand Rao vs Mr.Sondi Martin 4 Others on 1 August, 2018

In the case of SHYAMAL KUMAR ROY Vs SUSHIL KUMAR AGARWAL {(2006) 11 SCC 331}, the Apex Court held that once a document has been marked as an exhibit in the case and the trial has proceeded all along on the footing that the document was an exhibit in the case and has been used by the parties in examination and cross examination of their witnesses, Section 36 of the Stamp Act comes into operation. Once a document has been admitted in evidence, as aforesaid, it is not open either to the trial Court itself or to a Court of appeal or revision to go behind that order. Such an order is not one of those judicial orders which are liable to be reviewed or revised by the same court or a Court of superior jurisdiction.

Mavuri Manikyam (Died) By Lrs. And Anr. vs G. Hanumanth Rao on 11 April, 2007

In Shyamal Kumar Roy v. Sushil Kumar Agarwal (supra), the Apex Court while considering the provisions of Stamp Act, as amended by the State of West Bengal Amendment Act, with reference to an agreement to develop the property. In a suit for specific performance of a Development Agreement, the agreement was filed and exhibited without any objection on the part of the appellant. Parties adduced their respective evidence. Subsequently, applications filed by appellant for recalling order admitting Development Agreement and for sending the same to Collector for impounding thereof, which was rejected and confirmed by the High Court in revision. On appeal, the Apex Court while confirming the order, held that the objection a regards admissibility of a document, specifically required to be taken that it was not duly stamped. On such objection only, the question is required to be determined judicially. If no objection had been made by the appellant in regard to the admissibility of the said document, he, at a later stage, cannot be permitted to turn round and contend that the said document is inadmissible in evidence. Appellant having consented to the document being marked as an exhibit has lost his right to reopen the question. What was necessary was that the document should be marked in the presence of the parties and they had an opportunity to object to the marking of the document. The question of judicial determination of the matter would arise, provided an objection is taken when document is tendered in evidence and before it is marked as an exhibit in the case. After referring to Section 36 of the Stamp Act, it was observed that the same categorically prohibits a Court of law from reopening a matter in regard to the sufficiency or otherwise of the stamp duty paid on an instrument in the event the same has been admitted in evidence.
