Case brief
What is this about?
Delhi High Court, FAO(OS) 1/2020, decided 24.02.2026 (Vivek Chaudhary & Renu Bhatnagar, JJ.). Keywords: deletion of paragraphs from affidavit-in-chief; objection to testimony on title of suit property; title not to be adjudicated in pending proceedings; evidence on title excluded from consideration; scope of cross-examination confined to issues framed; Test Case No. 14/2003; impugned order dated 22.07.2019; appeal under Section 10 Delhi High Court Act with Order XLIII Rule 1 CPC. Parties: Narinder Nath Verma & Anr. (appellants) v. State & Ors. Relevant for practitioners dealing with exclusion of title-related material from evidence/cross-examination stages and enforcement of framing-of-issues discipline.
What did the court decide?
Paragraph 7 of the impugned order unequivocally clarifies that the objected testimony shall not be read for the purpose of deciding the title of the property; the apprehension expressed by the Appellants is therefore misconceived.
