State Of Assam vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court, while adjudicating a boundary dispute between Assam and Nagaland, allowed the production of additional topographical maps by the State of Assam, despite objections from Nagaland. The Court referenced Order XI Rule 14 and Order VII Rule 14 of the Code of Civil Procedure, emphasizing that the production of documents is permissible at any stage of the proceedings. The Court held that the earlier order permitting document production does not bar Assam from seeking additional maps, thereby prioritizing the interest of justice in the ongoing suit.
