1 - 9 of 9 (0.86 seconds)Aher Rama Gova And Ors. vs State Of Gujarat on 9 March, 1979
In another judgment reported as Aher Rama Gova &
Ors. v. State of Gujarat, 1979 (4) SCC 500, the secondary
evidence of dying declaration recorded by a Magistrate was
produced in evidence. This Court found that though the original
dying declaration was not produced but from the evidence, it is
clear that the original was lost and was not available. The
Magistrate himself deposed on oath that he had given the original
dying declaration to the Head Constable whereas the Head
Constable deposed that he had made a copy of the same and given
it back to the Magistrate. Therefore, the Court found that the
original dying declaration was not available and the prosecution
was entitled to give secondary evidence which consisted of the

statement of the Magistrate as also of the Head Constable who
had made a copy from the original. Thus, the secondary evidence
of dying declaration was admitted in evidence, though no
application to lead secondary evidence was filed.
Palaniammal vs Pappathi on 25 April, 2013
Palaniammal and another Vs. Pappathi and others
“23.The question whether the defendants were justified in
not adequately explaining about the non-production of the
original Will as contained in Ex.B1, gains significance. D.W.1
during cross-examination is presumed to have uttered out a fact to
the effect that the original Will as contained in Ex.B1 was handed
over to P1-Pappathi. But strictly in accordance with law, by
invoking Order 11 of C.P.C, the defendants did not resort to
discovery and inspection. But one fact is clear that an explanation
came forth from the defendants' side that the original Will as
contained in Ex.B1 was not in their possession and that it was
with Pappathi-P1, but she was not examined to contradict and
torpedo such claim.

Dhanpat Vs. Sheo Ram (Deceased) through L.Rs. and others
“15. In a judgment reported as M. Ehtisham Ali for himself
and in place of M. Sakhawat Ali, since deceased v. Jamna
Prasad, since deceased and others, AIR 1922 PC 56, the
appellants-plaintiffs filed a suit on the basis of a sale deed. During
trial, the stand of the plaintiffs was that the original sale deed was
lost but since it was registered, secondary evidence by way of a
certified copy prepared by the office of the Registrar was
produced. It was not disputed that the copy produced was not the
correct copy of the registered document. The suit was dismissed for
the reason that the plaintiffs have not succeeded in satisfactorily
establishing the loss of the original sale deed. The Court held as
under:
The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908
Section 65 in The Indian Evidence Act, 1872 [Entire Act]
Section 96 in The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 [Entire Act]

Valliammal @ Mani Vs. Sadayappan and others
“27.In the present case, DW-1 has stated in his evidence
that one of the attesting witness Shanmugam had mentioned
about Ex.B1 Will. The original Will was not able to be traced and
hence the certified copy was obtained and filed before the Court.
The non- availability of the original Will has been explained by
DW-1 and there is no contra evidence available to the effect that
the 2nd and 3rd defendants had deliberately withheld or
suppressed the original Will. It is now a well settled law that
where the original Will has been lost and it has been properly
explained, the certified copy of the Will can be acted upon as
secondary evidence.
