Athapuram Raghuramaiah And Another vs Dyava Ramaiah on 4 October, 2012
20. Learned counsel for the petitioner further drawn the
attention of this Court to Athapuram Raghuramaiah and
another v. Dyava Ramaiah , wherein this Court considered
the scope of Section 36 of the Indian Stamp Act and Order
XIII Rule 4 CPC for impounding documents and held that
mere marking of a document or showing it to the witness
would not amount to admissibility of document in evidence,
after judicial consideration as to its admissibility, unless the
endorsement made on the document at the time of marking
contains a specific statement as to its admission in evidence
and signed or initialled by the Judge as prescribed under
Order 13 Rule 4 CPC, it cannot be said to be admitted. This
Court further held that the words admitted in evidence as
appearing in Section 36 of the Indian Stamp Act mean
admitted after judicial consideration of objections relating to
its admissibility. Thus, there shall be a judicial
determination of the question whether it can be admitted in
evidence or not for want of stamp, on the day when the
document was shown to the witnesses and marked. Merely
because a document was marked or shown to the witness
would not mean that the objection raised by the opposite
party was rejected by judicial determination.
Omprakash vs Laxminarayan & Ors on 7 October, 2013
5. Raising several contentions and one among the other is
that mere marking of document as exhibit without applying
mind, does not amount to admission of document in evidence
and the revision petitioner is entitled to challenge the
admissibility of the document at any time and Section 36 of
Indian Stamp Act, 1899 is not applicable to the present facts
of the case. But the trial Court committed a grave error in
exercising the jurisdiction conferred on it. Therefore, it
warrants interference of this Court and prayed to set aside
the order placing reliance on Omprakash v. Laxminarayan
and others .
