Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that once a document is admitted in evidence, the matter is closed for the parties involved, regardless of any prior mistakes regarding its admissibility under the Marwar Stamp Act, 1947, specifically Sections 35 and 36. The Court disapproved the earlier ruling in Ratan Lal v. Dau Das, I.L.R. [1953] Raj. 833, emphasizing that the trial court's decision to admit the hundis cannot be revised or reviewed by the same or a superior court. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the hundis were inadmissible due to lack of proper stamping at the time of the suit's filing.
