Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court correctly set aside the Additional District Judge's order dismissing the respondent's applications under Order VII Rule 14 and Order XVIII Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Court emphasized that the plaintiff must be allowed to present additional evidence if it is relevant to the case, thereby reinforcing the principle of fair trial. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to permit the introduction of additional documents and evidence.
