2. Heard the learned counsel for the applicant/first defendant and learned counsel for the respondents 1 to 3/plaintiffs and the learned counsel for the fourth respondent/second defendant.

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.
