1 - 4 of 4 (0.22 seconds)Ajay Mohan & Ors vs H.N. Rai & Ors on 12 December, 2007
10. So far as the authorities Ajay Mohan & Ors' case (supra)
and Barkat Ali & Anr.'s case (supra) are concerned, these authorities are
distinguishable to the facts of the present case. The ratio of law laid down
in both these authorities is that if the matter has been decided by the Court
and thereafter the same point cannot be re-agitated before the same Court
by filing second petition. The appeal is the continuation of suit. The
defendants/appellants now respondents wanted to produce material
evidence, which goes to the root of the case. The learned First Appellate
Court, after considering the submissions made by both the sides have
exercised the jurisdiction by allowing the application as envisaged under
Order 41 Rule 27 of the CPC. The counsel for the petitioners could not
point out that the first Appellate Court has committed any illegality or has
Civil Revision No. 8038 of 2011 5
exceeded its jurisdiction while allowing the application. The plaintiffs now
petitioners have produced register of deed writer, who has stated that he is
not maintaining any register. The defendants/appellants now respondents
wanted to prove the fact that he was maintaining a register. According to
the case of plaintiffs Harbhaajn Singh was the Lamberdar of village
Chawinda Devi but the defendants have produced information received
under RTI that Harbhajan Singh never remained Lamberdar of the said
village. The other allegation of the defendants is that another Balbir Singh
appeared instead witness mentioned on the agreement. The reason given by
the defendants-respondents that not producing the evidence before the trial
court at an early stage was that they are residents of USA and on that
account the said evidence could not be produced. Another circumstance,
which goes in favour of the defendants/respondents is that before the trial
court also an application for additional evidence was moved which was
wrongly declined by the trial Court. All these questions raised by the
defendants/respondents go to the root of the case and as such the First
Appellate Court has rightly allowed the application for additional evidence.
