K. Kannan, J.@mdashThe application for reception of secondary evidence has been dismissed and therefore the petitioner is before this Court.
This Court has set out a procedure to be followed when secondary evidence is sought to be given. There is not even a necessity of filing such an
application. If a party gives any of the grounds set out u/s 65 of the Indian Evidence Act for non-production of the original and seeks for
production of secondary evidence the Court shall receive the same and allow for the statement made by the witness to be cross examined. If it is
elicited in the cross examination that there was no justification for production of secondary evidence the Court shall consider the same at the time
arguments when the case comes to conclusion. It shall not be prejudged. This issue has been considered by this Court in Atma Nand (deceased)
through LR Vs. Ram Sarup (deceased) through his L.Rs reported in 2012 (1) PLR 440, Dr. S.P. Arora Vs. Satbir Singh 2010 (5) RCR (Civil)
350 and Simar Pal Singh Vs. Hakam Singh, . The impugned order is set aside. The civil revision is allowed dispensing with notice to the
respondents, for, it is an issue of procedure which has been laid down through law already. There cannot be repeated breach of directions given by
this Court, by the Courts below.
