1 - 10 of 12 (0.23 seconds)Union Of India vs Ibrahim Uddin & Anr on 17 July, 2012
"25. The general principle is that the Appellate Court should
not travel outside the record of the lower court and cannot take
any evidence in appeal. However, as an exception, Order XLI
Rule 27 CPC enables the Appellate Court to take additional
evidence in exceptional circumstances. The Appellate Court
may permit additional evidence only and only if the
conditions laid down in this rule are found to exist. The parties
are not entitled, as of right, to the admission of such evidence.
Thus, provision does not apply, when on the basis of evidence
on record, the Appellate Court can pronounce a satisfactory
judgment. The matter is entirely within the discretion of the
court and is to be used sparingly. Such a discretion is only a
judicial discretion circumscribed by the limitation specified in
the rule itself.
Balkrishna Dattatraya Galande vs Balkrishna Rambharose Gupta . on 6 February, 2019
9. Learned counsel for the respondent on the other hand contended that the
documents filed by the petitioner in I.A.No.254 of 2019 were subsequent to the
date of filing of the suit. The revision petitioner in her affidavit in I.A.No.254
of 2019 stated that she was not aware of the importance of the document, hence,
did not inform the counsel on record. It was totally a vague reason, which could
not be considered in the eyes of law. The petitioner failed to show any valid
reason to receive the documents. The documents filed by the petitioner could
not be considered in the appeal suit as only the possession as on the date of
filing of the suit was only material and relied upon the judgment of the Hon'ble
Apex Court in Balkrishna Dattatraya Galande v. Balkrishna Rambharose
Gupta and another 4 on the aspect that in a suit filed under Section 38 of the
Specific Relief Act, possession as on the date of suit was a must for grant of
permanent injunction. When the first respondent-plaintiff failed to prove that he
was in actual possession of the property as on the date of the suit, he was not
entitled for the decree for permanent injunction.
9.1. Learned counsel for the respondent further contended that a party could
not produce any additional evidence at the appellate stage.

27. Under Order XLI , Rule 27 CPC, the appellate Court has
the power to allow a document to be produced and a witness to
be examined. But the requirement of the said Court must be
limited to those cases where it found it necessary to obtain such
evidence for enabling it to pronounce judgment. This provision
does not entitle the appellate Court to let in fresh evidence at
the appellate stage where even without such evidence it can
pronounce judgment in a case. It does not entitle the appellate
Court to let in fresh evidence only for the purpose of
pronouncing judgment in a particular way. In other words, it is
only for removing a lacuna in the evidence that the appellate
Court is empowered to admit additional evidence.

Haji Mohammed Ishaq Md. Sk. Mohammed & 3 ... vs Mohamed Iqbal & Mohamed Ali & Ors on 4 April, 1978
26. The Appellate Court should not, ordinarily allow new
evidence to be adduced in order to enable a party to raise a new
point in appeal. Similarly, where a party on whom the onus of
proving a certain point lies fails to discharge the onus, he is not
entitled to a fresh opportunity to produce evidence, as the Court
can, in such a case, pronounce judgment against him and does
not require any additional evidence to enable it to pronounce
judgment. (Vide: Haji Mohammed Ishaq Wd. S. K.
Mohammed & Ors. v. Mohamed Iqbal and Mohamed Ali
and Co., AIR 1978 SC 798).

S. Rajagopal vs C. M. Armugam & Ors on 3 May, 1968
28. It is not the business of the Appellate Court to supplement
the evidence adduced by one party or the other in the lower
Court. Hence, in the absence of satisfactory reasons for the
non- production of the evidence in the trial court, additional
evidence should not be admitted in appeal as a party guilty of
remissness in the lower court is not entitled to the indulgence of
being allowed to give further evidence under this rule. So a
party who had ample opportunity to produce certain evidence
in the lower court but failed to do so or elected not to do so,
cannot have it admitted in appeal. (Vide: State of U.P. v.
ManbodhanLalSrivastava, AIR 1957 SC 912; and S.
Rajagopal v. C.M. Armugam& Ors., AIR 1969 SC 101).
