T.Tamilarasan vs Arokkiasamy on 22 March, 2007

19. Now, applying the ratio laid down in the above referred judgment herein also, though the appellant/defendant was provided with an opportunity to file a counter affidavit in the application filed under Order 41 Rule 27 of C.P.C., non-providing of opportunity to test the veracity of the additional document would amount to non-proving of the contents of the said document. In this regard, the learned counsel appearing for the respondent/plaintiff contended that the document exhibited as 'A5' is a Circular, dated 11.06.1961, issued by the Commissioner, H.R. & C.E. (Admn.) Department, in respect of the duties and powers of the Executive Officers. Since the said document is a public document, there is no necessity to provide an opportunity to the other side to disprove the contents. Even assuming that the first appellate Court had committed the mistake due to the said act, the defendant is no way prejudiced. Further, if the matter is remanded back again to the first appellate Court for the purpose of marking additional document as an evidence after providing opportunity to the defendant, it will lead to wastage of time and therefore, it is not necessary to consider the submissions made by the appellant's counsel in this regard.
