The present Civil Revision Petition has been filed by the petitioners under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, against the fair and decreetal order dated 29.01.2019 made in I.A.No.222 of 2018 in O.S.No.221 of 2010 on the file of the I Additional District Judge, Madurai.

application under Order 13 Rule 8 of C.P.C to receive five documents. There are 28 documents in the list and the five alone were objected. The respondents have expressed their objection in respect of family arrangement dated 06.08.2003 on the ground that the document has not been registered and has not been sufficiently stamped.

¶25

6. It is imperative to mention that in the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in 2001 (3) SCC 1 (Shantilal Panchal Vs. State of

¶26

Gujarat and another), it has been categorically held that unless there is an issue in respect of the stamp duty violation all other objection can only be adjudicated at the time of disposal of the suit. Here, what the petitioners want is only to receive the document as evidence. Therefore, such receipt of the

¶27

documents will in no way affect the rights of the defendants' objection in respect of the stamp duty violation and the registration.

¶28

7. Therefore, this Court finds no infirmity in the order passed by the learned trial judge. This Civil Revision Petition is dismissed . However, it is made clear that the respondents herein are having right to object the documents on the ground of stamp duty as well as the registration at the time
