ORDER
This civil revision petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India against the order dated 04.01.2024 passed in I.A.No.3 of 2023 in O.S.No.1676 of 2019 by the learned XV Assistant Judge, City Civil Court,
Chennai, wherein the application filed by the petitioner/plaintiff to reopen the evidence of PW-1 for marking additional documents, came to be rejected by the Court below.
2. Heard learned counsel for petitioner and carefully perused the materials available on record. This Court also went through the impugned order.
3. The petitioner is the plaintiff, who filed the suit in O.S.No.1676 of 2019 seeking for the relief of recovery of money along with interest. The suit was at the stage of evidence. I.A.No.3 of 2023 in O.S.No.1676 of 2019 was filed to reopen PW-1 for marking additional documents. This application was dismissed by the Court below. Aggrieved by the same, the present revision has been filed.
4. In the considered view of this Court, in the affidavit filed in support of the application in I.A.No.3 of 2023 in O.S.No.1676 of 2019, there is absolutely no reference to the documents sought to be marked by reopening the evidence of PW-1. If the petitioner/plaintiff wants to mark additional documents, an application has to be filed seeking for the leave of the Court to file additional documents and only thereafter, the documents can be marked. The petitioner/plaintiff, without even mentioning the additional documents sought to the marked, cannot maintain the present application. The Court below has rightly dismissed the application and the order passed by the Court below does not suffer from any perversity warranting interference of this Court. Accordingly, this civil revision petition is dismissed. There shall be a direction to the XV Assistant Court, City Civil Court, Chennai to dispose of the suit in O.S.No.1676 of 2019 within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 07-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No gm To The XV Assistant Judge, City Civil Court, Chennai.
