appears that the I.O. has already notified the plaintiff for production of the aforesaid original deed. Now, it is the duty of the plaintiff to receive back the deed from this court to comply such notice.

¶21

that liberty is hereby accorded in favour of the plaintiff to appear personally before this court on 04.04.2023 to receive back the document i.e., Title Deed 3807 of 2017 as the Ld.

be kindly passed and to supply the gift deed in the interest of investigation .
