RETURN OF DOCUMENTS

I don't know which CPC my learned friend is talking about. Production, impounding and return of documents is contained in Order 13 of the CPC. In Delhi High Court, you either file the original documents or make an application seeking exemption from filing original documents. If original documents are not filed with the plaint, you need to produce them at the time of recording of evidence for marking exhibits. Documents are returned interms of Order 13 Rule 9, Application whereof may be made to the Joint Registrar in terms of the Delhi High Court Rules. Other High Court Rules may vary in procedure but not in the essence.
