Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the appellant's application under Order 7 Rule 14 of the CPC for filing additional documents was erroneous, as the cross-examination had not commenced. The Court emphasized that the stage of the proceedings should not preclude the filing of relevant documents that support a party's claim. Consequently, the orders of the Division Bench and Single Bench were set aside, allowing the appellant's application and directing the consideration of the additional documents.
