Coromandel International Ltd. Vs. M.V. GLORY I and Others

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-30-2014

P.C. 1. The suit is listed today for framing of issues. At the outset, the counsel for the plaintiff stated that the affidavit of documents of the plaintiff is ready and the plaintiff is relying upon some 156 documents. The counsel for the defendants objected to the affidavit of documents being taken on record. Relying on Order VII Rule 14 and Order XIII Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure (for brevity referred as 'CPC') he submitted that the question of the plaintiff filing any affidavit of documents itself does not arise as no application for discovery has been taken out by the defendants. The counsel further submitted that the plaint refers to about 21 documents and only those 21 documents can be accepted and nothing more than that. He stated that the plaintiff cannot rely on any document that is not annexed to the plaint.

Harish Loyalka and Another Vs. Dilip Nevatia and Others

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-30-2014

PC: 1. I am informed that the mater is proceeding before the Commissioner. 2. Dr. Saraf, learned Counsel for Defendant No.5, seeks a clarification that it will not be necessary for the Plaintiffs or the 5th Defendant to put their case to the 1st Defendant, who is the witness under cross-examination, and, specifically, that should they not do so, so adverse inference should be drawn against them, nor should it be seen as any sort of admission. 3. This is a question that arises repeatedly. Almost without exception, in every single trial, attempts are made to put a series of questions to a witness suggesting that every paragraph and every line of his pleading or evidence affidavit is false or untrue. The answer elicited is always a denial. I believe this practice is the result of an apprehension that should such questions not be put to the witness, the party who is cross-examining the witness may be deemed to have accepted the witnesss testimony. 4. This apprehension is not only unfounded...
