C.R.P(MD)Nos.2444 to 2446 of 2026 truth in the evidence, he is not able to mark the document and he wants to mark the same. Hence he filed a petition with reopened, recall and to permit the petitioner to mark the sale. But the trial court dismissed the same for the reaons that he filed the petition belatedly and only in order to drag on the proceeding. Against which, the present petition is filed. The petitioner further contended that the said document is an important document to conclude the case only he came to know that the said document was not marked, when he verified the cross examination of DW1 and request to permit him to mark the document. The respondent counsel also appeared and seriously contested the petition stating that already an order was passed in C.R.P(MD)No. 3 dated 12/3 CR by his court in CRP Dash Dash Dash on 27/2023. That the Doctor the UK should be concluded within six months from the date of order.

Heard the learned counel for the petitinoer and the learned counel for the respondent and perused the material available on record. We perused the averment in the plant. The petitioner, who is the plaintiff, filed a suit for permanent injunction. The main contention of the petitioner is that the defendants during his absence Try to obtain patta in his name in respect of A and B scheduled property. He filed a suit for not to issue patta in favour of respondent and he also further said that the respondents tried to interfere with his possession and enjoyment of the suit property. On perusal of the records the documents sought to be marked as in respect of property in S.No.161/1. But, no such survey number available in the A schedule or B schedule and there is no averment to show that he tried to interfere with his proper no such averment in the petitioner to prove his case through the document and the subject matter of the property is also not connected with the documents being marked. On perusal of the trial court order which clearly shows that the suit was filed by the petitioner on 22.06.2024 only for a permanent injunction the

C.R.P(MD)Nos.2444 to 2446 of 2026 the court at any stage of the proceeding to recall any witness which has been examined and to clarify any such question if omitted to be asked and to mark document. But that should not be misused under the guise that to drag on the proceedings. In this case, even the revision petitioner is not in a position to answer the question repeatedly raised by the question on what purpose he want to mark the document there is no answer, which clearly shows that the petition sought to be marked is only to drag on the proceedings. Hence there is no merit. The petition is dismissed, however. It is directed that immediately the revision petitioner should argue the case. If he has not argued the case within a week from the date of order, the trial court is hereby directed to close his argument and to hear the respondent and pass orders accordingly. 07.09.2026 NCC : Yes / No Index : Yes / No Ns To
