Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Aug-07-1991

Reported in: ILR1992KAR2700

ORDERRajendra Babu, J. 1. On the last occasion when this matter had come up for admission, I directed notice on I.A. I after admitting the Petition with a view to dispose of the matter on merits. Even thereafter none appears for the respondent. At my instance, Sri Muralidhar, learned Government Pleader, appears for the respondent and is heard in the matter. 2. The grievance of the petitioner in this case is that he sought for grant of certain certified copies of the Power of Attorney and a sale agreement upon which the suit is based. The office of the Civil Court raised on objection that these documents are not marked as exhibits in evidence and that therefore copies could not be granted. The trial Court relied upon Rule 230 of the Karnataka Civil Rules of Practice. The said Rule reads as follows: 'A party to a suit or proceeding is entitled at any stage of the proceeding, to obtain copies of the record of the suit or proceeding including documents which have been admitted in evidence....
