Secondary evidence

Suit for declaration of title and recovery of possessoin of agricultural land. The plaintiff filed a suit as mentioned above. The property was mortgaged by him with nationalised bank. The loan discharged. The original sale deed lost in bank. The Bank issued a certificate about the fact. The plaintiff filed the certified copy of sale deed in the court in the present suit. The document of certified copy is marked as exhibit. Other side did not object for marking the same at the time of marking. At present, is it necessary for filing the petition for permission seeking for marking the said document as secondary evidence to over come the lacunae? please clarify how the procedure in this circumstances.

WITH DUE RESPECT I DISAGREE WITH ABOVE VIEWS.IN ORDER TO TAKE THE EVIDENTIAL VALUE OF THE DOCUMENT INTO ACCOUNT THEN THE DOCUMENT MUST BE PROVED AS PER THE PROVISIONS OF THE INDIAN EVIDENCE ACT AND MORE SPECIFICALLY AS PER THE CHAPTER THE PROOF OF THE DOCUMEN ENUMERATED IN EVIDENCE ACT. MERE EXIHIBITING OF THE DOCUMENT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE DOCUMENT IS PROPERLY PROVED. ITS EVIDENTIAL VALUE MAY NOT BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT UNLESS THE DOCUMENT IS PROPERLY PROVED AS PER THE PROVISIONS OF THE EVIDENCE ACT. AND VICE VERSA.MEANING THRERBY THAT EVEN IF A DOCUMENT IS NOT EXIHIBITED BUT IT IS PROPERLY PROVED AS PER THE PROVISIONS OF THE INDIAN EVIDENCE ACT THEN ITS EVIDENTIAL VALUE IS CONSIDERED IRRESPECTIVE OF THE FACT THAT DOCUMEN IS NOT EXIHIBITED. PLEASE REFER JUDGEMENT OF LORDSHIP D.G.KARNIK BOMBAY HIGH COURT.

Jeetendra Patel jee! What is the mode of citation? JUDGEMENT OF LORDSHIP D.G.KARNIK BOMBAY HIGH COURT

Objection as to mode of proof alleging document to be irregular in sufficient to be taken at trial before document marked as an 'exhibit' and admitted to record.

See AIR 2004 SC 4082

see also AIR 2005 SC 3467

Patel sir,

The author query is as to leave of secondary evidence not for the question of proving document.

One more thing the document is registered sale deed so its cerified copy is a public document.
