5.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the documents sought to be placed on record, i.e., the plaint, written statement, and the order dated 09th June, 2025 in Civil Suit no. 680/2024, pending before the Commercial Courts, Tis Hazari Courts, are relevant for the adjudication of the present matter. It is further submitted that these documents could not be filed earlier as some of them came into existence after the filing of the written statement in the present suit.

6.

Per contra, learned counsel for the respondent submits that the impugned order has been passed after considering the material on record . It is contended that the present petition was filed only to delay the proceedings pending before the Trial Court and that the documents sought to be brought on record have no relevance to the present petition. It is further submitted that the petitioner has failed to explain the unreasonable delay of one year in filing the said documents, despite having knowledge of their existence. It is, therefore, prayed that the petition be dismissed. 7.

Learned counsel for the parties submits that the issues are yet to be framed in the suit and that the matter is presently at the stage of hearing of arguments of the application seeking summary judgment. 8.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that the issues are yet to be framed in this case and it is at the stage of hearing of arguments of the application seeking summary judgment, this court is of the opinion that, that it is in the interest of justice, the documents sought to be placed on record by the petitioner can be taken on record, as the respondent can be compensated with cost. Accordingly, impugned order is set aside and the documents as sought by the petitioner are brought on record, subject to payment of costs of Rs.25,000/- to the respondent.
