- The examination process is still ongoing according to the petitioner’s counsel.
- The petition is dismissed for lack of merit.
Analysis
- An application was filed before the Commercial Court to exhibit documents produced by the plaintiff in Exh.4 and Exh.103.
- The application was deemed vague as it did not specify which specific documents were to be exhibited.
- The defendant objected, stating the documents needed to be proved as per the Indian Evidence Act during the plaintiff’s Chief examination.
- The plaintiff filed the application after the completion of cross-examination, potentially leading to a new trial.
- The trial court found that documents listed in Exh.103 had already been exhibited, questioning the necessity of the application.
- The application lacked clarity on why it was necessary, especially since the documents were not exhibited during the plaintiff’s examination.
- The trial court rejected the application as it lacked a specific prayer for exhibiting the documents.
