This application is filed by the applicant/defendant to file additional documents set out in the Judges Summons filed along with the application in the above suit.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the applicant/defendant as well as the learned counsel for the respondent/plaintiff.

3. Considering the submission made by the learned counsel appearing for the applicant/defendant and also going through the averments made in the affidavit, I am inclined to allow the application. However, the documents sought to be marked as additional evidence can be marked subject to proof, relevancy and admissibility at the time of evidence. This Court may follow the procedures as per the decision of the Honourable Supreme Court reported in 2001-3-SCC-1 (Bipin Shantilall Panchal Vs. State of Gujarat and another) while dealing with the question of admissibility of documents during the course of trial at the stage of taking evidence when any objection is raised.
